High-precision agricultural era comes to robots to break the traditional way of working

[China Agricultural Machinery Industry News] In the application of new agricultural production models and new technologies, agricultural robots will become more and more widely used as a new generation of intelligent agricultural machinery. According to the annual sales growth of 12%, the price is 140,000 US dollars. By 2021, the global agricultural robot sales will exceed 14,000 units, and the sales will exceed 2 billion US dollars.

High-precision agricultural era comes to robots to break the traditional way of working

Compared with industrial robots or robots in other fields, the working environment of agricultural robots is changeable, and the non-structural environment is the main task, and the task is extremely challenging. Therefore, in general, agricultural robots require far more intelligence than other fields of robots.

Robots are changing the way of traditional agricultural labor in China

The emergence and application of agricultural robots has changed the traditional way of agricultural labor and promoted the development of modern agriculture. The adjustment of agricultural industry structure and the intensification of agricultural production and the rapid development of China's industrial robot technology will present good opportunities for the development of agricultural robots in China. The Ministry of Science and Technology has clearly proposed to cultivate the service robot industry into a strategic emerging industry in China in the "12th Five-Year Plan for Service Robot Technology Development", which is undoubtedly a major opportunity for the development of China's agricultural robot industry. According to the annual sales growth of 12%, the price is 140,000 US dollars. By 2021, the global agricultural robot sales will exceed 14,000 units, and the sales will exceed 2 billion US dollars.

China's agricultural robots started late, and technology research and development began in the mid-1990s. China Agricultural University is one of the early research and development units of agricultural robot technology in mainland China. The automatic grafting robot developed by the University has successfully carried out experimental grafting production. Subsequently, Nanjing Agricultural University, Northeast Forestry University and other universities and research institutes have also carried out relevant research, and with the rapid development of China's industrialization, urbanization and modernization, the research and development scope of China's agricultural robots is gradually expanding, and is currently working hard. Robots, weeding robots, fertilizing robots, spray robots, vegetable grafting robots, harvesting robots, and picking robots have all been developed.

Robots will open the era of ultra-precision agriculture

For the time being, most farmers still don't trust robots and are not willing to spend huge sums to buy, which has hindered the development of agricultural robots. However, the prospects for agricultural robots are still very bright. Among the changes brought about by agricultural robots, one of them is particularly evident: agricultural farming is more professional and crop types are becoming more and more refined.

The next step in the development of agricultural robots is completely unmanned and fully automated. Automated navigation technology is now becoming more and more commercial, which reduces regulatory barriers and increases farmers' familiarity with agricultural robots. All of this will bring us to the next era: the era of ultra-precision agriculture.

To some extent, the era of ultra-precise agriculture will bring the gospel to farmers: chemicals become more professional and more customized, which reduces consumption and waste as a whole, and makes crops more productive; At the same time, it can turn pesticide suppliers into professional chemical operators, which is very beneficial to the further development of agricultural producers.

Undoubtedly, agricultural robots have improved the efficiency of crop production and freed farmers from heavy agricultural work. However, it is not known that agricultural robots will also have a huge impact on agricultural related practitioners. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. If farmers tend to be conservative and refuse to keep pace with the times, the opportunities brought about by the era of high precision agriculture will become challenges.
