 In today’s generation, scientist are rooting for artificial intelligence in all aspects. If you are
wondering why, because as we all know, robots can lessen human labors. It is actually
present in some countries, now in terms of farming, it is a work that is required to be checked
every day, and it is very repetitive and tedious. Not everyone enjoys farming, especially with
people today, they would choose opportunities that are less hassle, dirty, easy to accomplish,
and etc. With agricultural robots, it would be a helping hand for farmers to focus on their
overall fields, it can be planting of seeds, collecting of crops, soil analyzing, watering system,
and weed control. The importance of agricultural robots or automation in general, is that it
can help such labor to be lessened for human activities. Advantages of this topic, is that can
help the production of a specific crop, maintain its healthy structure, avoid contagious
diseased plants, help monitor the land or its crops.
