This book provides a review of the state-of-the-art of agricultural
robotics in different aspects of PA, the goals, and the gaps. The
book introduces the area of Agricultural Robotics for Precision
Agriculture (PA) specifically the conditions and limitations for
implementing robots in this field and presents the concepts,
principles, required abilities, components, characteristics and
performance measures, conditions, and rules for robots in PA.

The common fig (Ficus carica L.) is one of the oldest fruits
domesticated by humans, and is native to southwest Asia and the
Mediterranean. Figs have been associated with health and prosperity
since ancient times. They are rich in fibre, potassium, calcium,
and iron, as well as being an important source of vitamins, amino
acids, and antioxidants. In recent years, increased consumption has
caused fig production to shift to new countries such as Mexico,
Brazil, India, and China. However, fig is a challenging fruit crop
to grow. It is susceptible to insect pests and diseases as well as
injuries from abiotic stress during fruit development and ripening.
As a delicate fruit it also requires complicated postharvest
procedures and climate change presents additional challenges.
Comprising 29 chapters written by international experts, the book
includes sections on: History Biology and Orchard Management Fruit
Ripening and Postharvest Management Pests and Diseases Omics
Analysis Cultivars and Breeding Products and Trade. This volume
serves as a comprehensive reference for current and future
practices of fig production, consumption, research and innovation,
and is essential for academic researchers, and those involved in
research and development in the fig industry.
