For past few
decades, robots have played a significant role in increasing the
efficiency as well as reducing the overall total cost of industrial
production. Similar trend is anticipated to visible in the field of
agriculture. The implementation of robotics in agriculture is
expected to bring out transformational result in coming years.
Agriculture
robots or Agribots are used widely in all the important
function of farming.
With world
population growing at a significant rate, the agricultural production
needs to be doubled in order to meet the sporadic demand for food and
bioenergy. Owing to the fact that resources such as land, water and
labor are limited, agriculture efficiency needs to be improved to
feed the masses. In this crucial circumstance, agribots is expected
to play a vital role. Agribots are expected to increasingly been used
in all parts of agriculture cycle such as seeding, sowing, watering
and harvesting. The automated harvesting system is capable of
mimicking the precision of human harvester while improving the
overall harvesting efficiency. A typical design of robotic fruit
harvester comprise of an advance vision system for detecting the
fruit, an end effector to pick up the fruit and a manipulator that
act like a human arm. An automated weed control system recognizes and
eliminates weed and help farmers to take decisions related to use of
pesticide, herbicide and fertilizers. Tractors are now well-equipped
with GPS and automated steering. These tractors are self-guided
allowing them to make efficient use of fuel. On dairy farms, robotic
milking machines are used to milk cattle’s. Moreover, software
system and aerial survey maps are extensively being used by farmers
to guide their field operation.
Agriculture drones
are small aircraft or quadcopter with advance sensor and imaging
capabilities that gives farmers real time information about the field
condition. These drones are equipped with an advanced camera that are
controlled by the autopilot system giving high resolution images of
the farm field. Compared with satellite images, it is much cheaper
and provide clear images. The most beneficial aspect of an
agricultural drones is its ability to survey crops every week, day or
even hour allowing farmers to have a continuous quality check on the
crops.
The global
positioning system (GPS) enabled robots are also capable of
collecting essential data about the climate and sand dune formation
to cater the complex ecological issue of desertification. The
agriculture robots are also well equipped to operate indoor
production facilities using artificial light to produce high quality
crops.

Agriculture robot
market is driven by global trend of population, increasing demand for
global food supply, shortage of skilled labor and emphasis on quality
production in conjunction with affordable price. However, the field
of agricultural robotics requires extensive research in order to
enable machines make logical sense of the complex biological
environment. For instance, there are challenges prevailing to proper
execution of machines to agilely reach through vegetation without
destroying them. The agricultural robotics market displays huge
opportunities for efficient production through affordable and
autonomous farm devices.
The market can be
segmented on the basis of application that include harvesting,
pruning, weed control, sorting and spaying.
Key players
in the market includes ISO Group, Autonomous Tractor Corporation,
Blue River Technology, Inc., AGROBOT-Soluciones Robóticas Agrícolas
SL, Agribotix LLC, Energid Technologies Co., Autonomous Solution
Inc., Deere & Company and Yamaha Corporation.
