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.
