The presence of robots in agriculture has grown significantly in recent years, overcoming
some of the challenges and complications of this field. This chapter aims to collect a …

This book covers three main types of agricultural systems: the use of robotics, drones
(unmanned aerial vehicles), and satellite-guided precision farming methods. Some of these …

In the recent years, robotic systems became more advanced and more accessible. This has
led to their slow, but stable integration and use in different processes and applications …

The nexus between energy, water and agricultural production is important to consider for
effective resource management and risk mitigation. New data acquisition techniques, in …

We present an autonomous aerial system which can safely navigate inside the rows of an
orchard for crop inspection, yield estimation and similar farm management tasks. Our …

The use of wireless technologies in the field of agriculture, or so-called smart or precision
agriculture, is considered as one of the main efforts applied nowadays to multiply the food …

The use of spherical robots in outdoor operations has increased because they can move on
uneven/three-dimensional (3D) terrain. Since the non-holonomic constraints and the rolling …

New technological advances have brought tools to increase the scope of the human outside
the world. However, it is necessary more research to achieve the challenges of leaving the …

Spherical robots are generally comprised of a spherical shell and an internal actuation unit.
These robots have a variety of applications ranging from search and rescue to agriculture …

This paper presents the design, analysis, and comparison of a novel four-pendulum
spherical robot. The proposed mechanism rolls omnidirectionally via four tetrahedrally …
