Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics: Widespread Implementation of 5G Infrastructure and R&D of Products That Can Withstand Harsh Environments May Boost Adoption

 

Agricultural Robots and Mechatronics

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.
