Automation in agricultural equipment and technology
The agricultural sector is one of the supreme sectors that play an important role in gaining income for the country. With the development of technology, the world can do a remarkable evaluation in agriculture with expanding the working efficiency, high-quality production, simultaneous work schedule assist with self-driving machinery using latest technologies.
Food is one of the basic needs of human beings to live. To generate enough food to sustain massive population growth as the first turning point of development in agricultural technology with the interconnection between environments kick-started with introduced fire to the world first. Modern agriculture technology transforms with new advancements in technology ranging from robotics and drone technology to computer vision-based software to help farmers to meet their demands according to the world's population.
Agricultural automation is associated with smart technology that key function with provides genius support to make agricultural areas more efficient with fully automate the production cycle of crops after and before harvest or livestock with less labor-consuming. Harvesting is one of the most difficult ones with using manpower but harvesting vegetables, fruits are somewhat difficult to do from automated equipment like robots because damages and bruising can happen when harvesting. "Agrobot" is one of the best inventions that successfully developed with modern technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Internet Of things that used for gently harvesting fruits of strawberries. The functionality of harvesting fruits with flexible mobile platforms with twenty-four robotics manipulators works to meet the quality standard of the farmers' work in practically. "Abundant Robotics" (the first commercial robotics apple harvest) is one of the big turning points in the agricultural sector by providing vacuum technology to harvest apple security. Another usage of robotics in the agricultural sector is to seed and weed specific crop areas.in weeding, robotics can reduce the percentage of pesticide by ninety percent with the most accuracy based on computer vision. To control and prevent the herbicide-resistant weed, use new technology with aided of robotics and computer vision (Blue River Technology).
In agricultural sector tractor is the most helpful vehicles in harvesting, seeding that work with manpower. We know that when tractors become autonomous, the work becomes much easier. The invention of autonomous tractors can control without human power (remotely or pre-programmed). As a result, the traditional tractor (early 1940) become fully automated (driverless). The tractor uses wireless technology with GPS to land successfully without using a driver and the operation of the system is supervised by the supervisor by monitoring the progress. This autonomous technology
frame is used in farming side to automatic milking from animals. John Deere's(new autonomous invention)is a new electric autonomous tractor, uses very compact electric drive units with integration attachments with a total output of 500 kW with equipped either wheels or tracks and ballasting from 5 to 15 tones with reduction of soil compaction. Semi-automated tractors can be another way of technology used in plant protection with an integrated crop sprayer.
Fertilizers, pesticides, and other treatments need for plants to get a good harvest. Drone technology can act as a monitor system to give a quick and cost-effective approach to plants by giving imagery and infrared analysis. For example, the largest drone development by "John Deere" and "Volocopter" with 9.2 m in diameter and powered by eighteen rotors and a fully electric drive with replaceable lithium-ion batteries. The drone frame is designed with a flexible standardized payload attachment system that can be applied to any area.to crop protection. The other functionality are weed scanner, and crop sprayers with allowing weeds to be scanned by air and specifically controlled and flight time will be approximately 30 minutes.
Based on the images and Artificial intelligence, systems can recognize different cultivated plants and types of weeds. To do this use See & Spray technology with the help of high-resolution camera captures with twenty images per second. The future vision on divers' cab shows new possibilities for artificial intelligence with the new concept of Command Cab. This can be integrated with real-time weather data, pre-setting individually, and management of job procedures in agricultural areas as a command center for agricultural operations.
In conclusion, with the development of automation in agriculture equipment and technology, be more familiar with farmers to reduce the fatigue with the decrease in spending more time in the field by framing computer-based technologies to analyzing agriculture detail with diagnosing the problems. Nowadays, completely automated agricultural systems are being a dream but rapid development and new advancement of technology make it easy to achieve the dream by converting a dream into reality all over the world in near future as mainstreaming trend of the modern economy.
