Abstract
This analysis explores the gaps between robots used in agricultural research, development, revolution, and related policies, predictions, errors, and field operations. Robots are very complex and have various subsystems built-in that need to be built and synchronized. Robot systems must be profitable but at the same time have inherent security, good personal safety, the necessary environment, crop, and machine protection. Data recovery systems, embedded sensors, and data surveys that are desired to adapt to the agricultural environment based on valid structured conditions. Integrating humans requires detailed research where operator steps into the system’s controlling strategies to meliorate its execution and reliableness. Need to reduce overall size of the system, while improving all components and component integration.
