This paper discloses the potentials of obstacle avoiding robots in crop monitoring for precision agriculture. Such robots, empowered by advanced sensing modalities like ultrasonic, infrared, and LIDAR, are capable of self-navigation through a field, avoiding obstacles. The results show that navigation efficiency, data collection precision, and real-time monitoring capabilities are greatly improved. These robots give better resource management, reduce dependence on manual labor, and timely decision-making in crop management. Although the high up-front costs of investment and the challenges in maintenance are inbuilt, the potential benefits in the reduction of labor, cost-effectiveness, and increased crop yield are enormous. Future improvement in AI, sensor technology, and cost reduction will drive further adoption and improve the impact of the technology on agriculture.

摘要

This paper discloses the potentials of obstacle avoiding robots in crop monitoring for precision agriculture. Such robots, empowered by advanced sensing modalities like ultrasonic, infrared, and LIDAR, are capable of self-navigation through a field, avoiding obstacles. The results show that navigation efficiency, data collection precision, and real-time monitoring capabilities are greatly improved. These robots give better resource management, reduce dependence on manual labor, and timely decision-making in crop management. Although the high up-front costs of investment and the challenges in maintenance are inbuilt, the potential benefits in the reduction of labor, cost-effectiveness, and increased crop yield are enormous. Future improvement in AI, sensor technology, and cost reduction will drive further adoption and improve the impact of the technology on agriculture.
