What is Agricultural Robots?
Agricultural robots, often referred to as agribots, are robots deployed for agricultural purposes.They are designed to automate tasks traditionally done by humans, such as planting, harvesting, weed control, and pest and disease monitoring.
By integrating technologies such as GPS, data analytics, AI, and machine learning, agricultural robots increase efficiency, precision, and sustainability in farming practices.
They help optimize resource usage, reduce the environmental impact, and increase crop yields while minimizing labor costs.
Main Types and Applications
Applications of agricultural robots cover all aspects of the process from planting to harvesting, and the main types include:
-
Self-driving TractorA self-driving tractor, often referred to as an autonomous tractor. It incorporates advanced sensors, GPS systems, and data management software to perform tasks without human drivers.
-
Plant Protection DronePlant Protection Drones, also known as agricultural drones, are unmanned aerial vehicles specifically designed for plant protection services in agriculture. Spray pesticides, insecticides, and nutrients.
-
Planting RobotPlanting robot is a machine used to automate the agricultural planting process. It is capable of performing precise positioning and planting of seeds through an automated control system.
-
Harvesting RobotAutomate harvesting operations such as grass cutting and fruit picking, and are able to recognize mature crops and perform precise operations.
-
Weed Management RobotUse machine vision systems to identify and remove weeds, reducing reliance on chemical herbicides and being more environmentally friendly.
-
Picking RobotPicking robots are designed to harvest crops such as fruits and vegetables. It accurately recognizes ripe crops and performs operations with precision.
Manufacturing Technologies
CNC milling is the use of CNC milling machines to cut and machine materials, usually machining parts in sheets and blocks.
5-axis milling reduces the number of workpiece clamping and machining time for parts with complex geometries.
CNC turning is suitable for round and cylindrical parts. It can perform drilling, boring, grooving, turning of external and internal holes.
CNC cutting encompasses laser cutting, plasma cutting and waterjet cutting technologies. Suitable for thin sheet parts.
