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.




                  Robots in Medicine

                  A medical robot is a robot used in the medical sciences. They include surgical robots, rehabilitation
                  robots, etc. Let us understand some of these robots.



                                                              Surgical Robots
                                                              These  robots  either  allow  surgical  operations  to  be
                                                              carried out with better precision than an unaided human
                                                              surgeon or allow remote surgery where a human surgeon
                                                              is not physically present with the patient.






                  Rehabilitation Robots

                  They are used for therapeutic purposes. They support the elderly, people
                  with dysfunction of body parts affecting their movements and sick. These
                  robots are also used for training and healing.
