Market Overview

Automated devices that are used to enhance the productivity and quality of agricultural output are called agricultural robots. Overall production of crops is raised and the requirement for human labor is reduced. Crop management duties performed by agricultural robots include harvesting, pesticide treatment on fields, weeding, milking, seeding and planting, aerial data collection, field mapping, fertilizing and irrigation, intercultural operations, harvesting, soil analysis, environmental monitoring, and other operations. Agriculture robots are afro mog field robots however they also provide value indoors by functioning in greenhouses. While some agricultural robots operate autonomously, others collaborate with field workers. These robots are provided with a variety of technology, including sensors, GPS, and artificial intelligence, allowing them to execute agricultural tasks automatically or semi-autonomously. Agricultural robots are used in the dairy sector for the purpose of washing, milking, and production of dairy products. Additionally, the increasing cost of manual labor, along with a scarcity of trained agricultural workers, contribute to the rising demand for agricultural robots to do labor-intensive activities. Furthermore, as the population grows and more young people migrate from rural to urban regions, there are fewer available farm laborers.
