Robotics in agriculture: advanced technologies in livestock farming and crop cultivation

Abstract

This article provides an analysis of the impact of robotic systems on modern agriculture. Key aspects of integrating advanced technologies, such as automation of feeding processes, pasture management, and automated crop harvesting, are highlighted. Examples of successful implementation of innovative solutions on farms are discussed, including mobile feed mixers, automated calf feeding systems, smart soil sample collectors, and flying autonomous garden robots. Special attention is given to the analysis of the economic efficiency and sustainability of applying these technologies, as well as their impact on improving working conditions and reducing environmental impact. Challenges and problems related to high initial investments, the need for qualified personnel, and the adaptation of old farm structures to new technologies are also discussed. Conclusions are drawn regarding the prospects and opportunities that robotics opens up for agriculture, emphasizing its role in achieving sustainability and increasing productivity in the face of growing global challenges.
