Agricultural robots conquer the fields

Agricultural robots, sometimes called agribots or field robots, are undoubtedly among the most eye-catching examples of digital agriculture. Increasing numbers of autonomous field robots are performing work, such as sowing, fertilizing, hoeing and harvesting, and, as they do not need a break, they can do this around the clock. Autonomous machines have many advantages. Dramatic savings in farm inputs and working time, alongside improved soil conservation, ensure greater sustainability while lowering costs. In labor-intensive specialty crops, they can compensate for missing personnel. Some questions around safety and liability must still be clarified but their future is as good as certain.
