The main goal of Smart Agritech: Robotics, AI, and Internet of Things (Io T) in Agriculture is to explore how emerging technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and Io T can be leveraged to improve efficiency, sustainability, and productivity in agriculture.
Agriculture has always been a vital sector of the global economy, providing food and raw materials for industries and households. However, with the growing population, changing climate conditions, and limited resources, the agriculture sector faces numerous challenges. To address these challenges, farmers and agricultural companies are turning to advanced technologies such as Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (Io T).
This exciting new volume provides a comprehensive overview of the latest technological advances in agriculture, focusing on these three cutting-edge technologies. The book will explore the potential benefits of these technologies in improving agricultural efficiency, productivity, and sustainability.
Whether for the veteran engineer, scientist in the lab, student, or faculty, this groundbreaking new volume is a valuable resource for researchers and other industry professionals interested in the intersection of technology and agriculture.
