Use of Robotics and Automation in Agriculture
The book Use of Robotics and Automation in Agriculture by Juan Jesus Roldan, published by Excella Press is a brilliant effort to make us aware that how automation like any other industry will impact agriculture. The world has already seen a significant presence of agricultural automation but this will certainly become manifold in the years to come. In recent times around the world have applied different automation solutions to diverse agricultural tasks.
Computer-based sensors and actuators such as global positioning systems (GPS), machine vision, and laser-based sensors have progressively been incorporated into mobile robots with the aim of configuring autonomous systems capable of shifting operator activities in agricultural tasks. This will not only improve productivity but accuracy and it will save time and money.
Therefore, this book aims to present a complete and recent state of the art about the application of robots in agriculture is combination with narratives of some of the practical experiences.
Highlights of these books
- The book mentions about the disciplines that lead the automation of agriculture, such as precision agriculture and greenhouse farming, and collects the proposals for automatizing tasks like planting and harvesting, environmental monitoring, and crop inspection and treatment.
- On the other hand, it compiles and analyses the robots that are proposed to accomplish these tasks: e.g. manipulators, ground vehicles, and aerial robots
- Individual robots and robots working in fleets to improve reliability, decrease complexity and costs, and permit the integration of software from different developers.
- Diverse topologies for controlling fleets of robots and advances other prospective topologies
The author has nicely collaged real-world cases on unmanned aerial vehicles to support precision agriculture in oil palm plantations; a smart agricultural machine with a computer vision-based weeding and variable-rate irrigation scheme; design and control of agricultural robots of tomato plants treatment and harvesting.
