Plantation
Robots are being used in plantation in
greenhouse. They are used in seeding,
potting and watering plants.
Automatic Seeding
Autonomous precision seeding combines robotics
with geomapping. A map is generated which
shows the soil properties (quality, density, etc.) at
every point in the field. The tractor, with robotic
seeding attachment, then places the seeds at
precise locations and depths so that each has the
best chance of growing.
Monitoring the Farm
Monitoring huge fields of crop is a big
job. New sensor and geo-mapping
technologies are allowing farmers to get
a much higher level of data about their
crops than they had in the past. Ground
robots and drones provide a way to
collect these data autonomously.
Irrigation and Fertilisation
For irrigating and fertilising crops robot-assisted
precise irrigation can reduce water wastage
by targeting specific plants. Ground robots
autonomously navigate between rows of crop and
pour water directly at the base of each plant.
