Plantation

                  Robots are being used in plantation in
                  greenhouse. They are used in seeding,
                  potting and watering plants.

                                                                 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

                                                                 precise locations and depths so that each has the

                  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.
