Agricultural automation is the core technology for computer-aided
agricultural production management and implementation. An
integration of equipment, infotronics, and precision farming
technologies, it creates viable solutions for challenges facing the
food, fiber, feed, and fuel needs of the human race now and into
the future. Agricultural Automation: Fundamentals and Practices
provides a comprehensive introduction of automation technologies
for agriculture. From basics to applications, topics in this volume
include: Agricultural vehicle robots and infotronic systems
Precision agriculture, with its focus on efficiency and efficacy of
agricultural inputs and the spatial and temporal management of
agricultural systems Specific agricultural production systems,
including those related to field crops, cotton, orchards and
vineyards, and animal housing and production Automation relative to
specific inputs in agricultural production systems, such as
nutrition management and automation, automation of pesticide
application systems, and automated irrigation management with soil
and canopy sensing Liability issues with regard to surrounding
awareness and worksite management Postharvest automation-perhaps
the most advanced component of agricultural production in terms of
automation and an important factor in global agriculture
Agricultural mechanization, one of the top ranked engineering
accomplishments in the past century, has created revolutionary
change in crop production technology and made it possible to
harvest sufficient products to meet the population's continuously
growing needs. Continued progress is essential to the future of
agriculture. This book provides an up-to-date overview of the
current state of automated agriculture and important insight into
its upcoming challenges.
