In recent years, with the rapid development of agriculture, various robots used in agricultural production have gradually become an important part of agricultural technology and equipment research and development. The emergence and application of agricultural robot not only alleviate the problem of rural labor shortage and unreasonable structure to a certain extent, but also change the traditional agricultural labor mode and promote the development of modern agriculture.
Agricultural robot can gradually replace manpower, and constantly help agricultural production reduce labor intensity. At the same time, it can also improve labor efficiency and help solve the current labor scarcity problem faced by many countries. This makes agricultural robot more and more important all over the world.
Technically, with the deep integration of new generation information technology such as cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and agricultural technology, agricultural robot, as a new generation of intelligent agricultural machinery, will break the bottleneck and be widely used. Meanwhile, in the future, agricultural and animal husbandry robots will research more new technologies, including deep learning, new materials, human-machine integration, tactile feedback, and other technologies. Human machine integration is an important part of future agricultural development, which can improve work efficiency. Human machine integration technology reduces research and development costs, allowing robots to predict human intentions and cooperate with humans to complete work.
After the emergence of the robot concept, many countries have increased their efforts to research and develop agricultural robot, making some new agricultural robot emerge in endlessly.
Picking robots:
Abundant Robotics, an American company, has developed an apple picking robot that can complete picking work 24 hours a day, in order to improve the efficiency of agricultural production. Although this technology focuses on picking apples as its core function, it will also be extended to the picking of other types of fruits. Abundant Robotics’ solution is to change the robotic arm to a form similar to a “vacuum cleaner”, which means that the fruit is “sucked” into the storage device, where the fruit and air come into contact, avoiding damage to the surface of the fruit caused by mechanical equipment. This also means that the application range of this robot will be more extensive, not limited to apple picking.
Weeding robot:
American startup FarmWise has developed an 8000 pound robot that can weed cleanly without using any pesticides. Not just weeding. The company’s robots use computer vision to perceive various information of each factory. Every day, their robots can weed a medium-sized city with a population of approximately 400000.
Greenhouse inspection robot:
The first artificial intelligence agricultural robot in Fujian officially started all-weather production inspection in the intelligent vegetable and fruit greenhouse of China Israel demonstration farm. This agricultural robot is a white cartoon character. It has clear facial features and limbs. It can complete 360 degree rotation and movement through the wheels and universal mechanism at the bottom. It can automatically patrol, collect fixed points, automatically turn, automatically return, and automatically charge along the cultivation trough. It can complete the entire process by itself.
Farming robots:
Due to the large-scale development of modern agriculture, the area of farms continues to expand. During the cultivation period, it is often necessary to hire a large amount of labor or use relevant agricultural machinery and equipment for operations. However, despite the high cost of labor, traditional agricultural machinery is also unable to fully meet the needs of precise and efficient agricultural cultivation. Nowadays, intelligent farming robots have been introduced. The farming robot can not only adjust the operating standards based on the size, contour, and crop type of the farmland, but also achieve autonomous farming, eliminating many traditional steps and greatly improving the operating efficiency.
Sorting robot:
Sorting various mature crops is an essential agricultural task in agricultural production, often requiring a large amount of labor input. Moreover, sometimes there may be omissions in manual sorting, and it is not always perfect enough. At this point, the sorting robot needs to come on stage. The agricultural sorting robot is not only sturdy, durable, and easy to operate, but also can automatically identify different crop fruits for quick classification without scratching the outer skin of the fruits.
Fertilization robot:
Traditional manual fertilization is not only very wasteful, but also has a high cost and significant impact on the environment. Fertilization robots are very “smart” and can develop different fertilization strategies based on the actual situation of different types of soil. Robots can scientifically formulate the most appropriate fertilization plan, which can reduce the total amount, control costs, improve efficiency, and also improve groundwater quality.
