Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics: Widespread Implementation of 5G Infrastructure and R&D of Products That Can Withstand Harsh Environments May Boost Adoption
As traditional farming
techniques struggle to keep pace with the increasing demand for food, there has
been significant development in agricultural robots and mechatronics. Increasing
labor cost and increasing demand for
food have led to increasing adoption of automation in agriculture. Agricultural
robots can cultivate crops on their own, without supervision from their human
supervisors. These robotic systems are also capable of spraying crops
automatically. The system includes precise irrigation systems and temperature
control, which make it a highly effective farming technique. The
main goal of agricultural robots is the automation of field activities, meaning
saving farmers time on dull, regular tasks so that they could focus on more
important.
Automated harvesting
systems are a vital part of agricultural robots and
mechatronics. These harvesting robots have the
ability to harvest crops, leaves or other plant products without human
supervision. The most popular robotic farming vehicles include robotic
harvesters, plows, drop ships, and tillers. The implementation of robotic
farming and other innovations has helped reduce the overall production costs of
an agricultural operation. Labor and material costs are reduced due to
innovations in robotics and agriculture. This allows farmers to increase their
profit margins.
A major challenge in
adoption of agricultural robots and mechatronics is effectiveness in real farm
conditions. Agriculture robots are extensively used in controlled farming.
There is the urgent necessity of developments in robotics technologies for
agricultural reality. Many processors used in closed environment may not
withstand the environment of a greenhouse or a roadside farm, because the
condition of moisture, temperature and corrosive factors would destroy them in
a short time. There is also the issue of connectivity, especially in emerging
economies where access to internet is not significant. Widespread implementation
of 5G infrastructure and R&D of products that can withstand harsh
environments may help to overcome the issues.
