Indian Agricultural Research Bulletin

F arming may be one of the oldest human professions, but it's currently experiencing one of its most futuristic upgrades—thanks to agricultural robotics. Once confined to research labs and sci-fi scenarios, robots are now rolling through fields, flying over crops, and doing the dirty work with precision, speed, and intelligence. In this post, we’ll dive into how agricultural robotics is reshaping the way we grow food and why it’s becoming a game-changer in the tech world. Why Agriculture Needs Innovation—Now More Than Ever Global population growth is placing enormous pressure on agriculture to produce more food, more efficiently, and with less environmental damage. At the same time, labor shortages are making it harder to maintain large-scale farms. Enter robotics: an answer to both the productivity and sustainability challenges facing modern farming. 1. Precision Is the New Norm Agricultural robots are equipped with GPS, sensors, and AI algorithms that enable them to p...
