Introduction
Revolution of Robotic farmer is on the way, fruit picking
machines are ready to roll into the fields and will replace human
workers at one point of time. A Robot Farmer is just a one of the
new technologies that will completely transform agriculture sector.
Today’s agricultural technology helps farmers to plow and spray
crops. In an improved automation and big data analytics with
farming robot technology are pointing out to big benefits. Goldman
Sachs estimates precision farming – the combination of agriculture
and technology could be around $240 billion market by 2050. As
per Euro monitor intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence,
analytics and machines for precision farming is one of the top
industry’s top opportunities. In Europe, Spanish company called
Agrobot has developed a strawberry farming robot. It uses up to 24
robotic arms to pick fruit and is capable of autonomous navigation.
In England, Dogtooth Technologies are developing its own series of
autonomous robots capable of picking fruit. Dogtooth machines are
proficient enough of autonomous navigation, locating and picking
ripe fruit and grading its quality [1] (Figure 1).
