Abstract

As agriculture faces increasing demands for efficiency and sustainability, robotics have become a focal point of innovation. This paper examines the role of robotics in precision agriculture, focusing on their ability to enhance crop yield, reduce labor costs, and minimize environmental impact. Key technologies analyzed include autonomous vehicles, drone technology, and advanced sensor systems. The paper discusses challenges such as high initial investments and the need for skilled operators. Case studies demonstrate successful implementations of robotics in different agricultural contexts, underscoring their potential to revolutionize farming practices worldwide.
