Abstract

This research investigates the influence of robotics and AI-driven autonomous farming systems on improving agricultural efficiency. The primary objectives are to assess how these technologies enhance agricultural efficiency, accuracy, and resource use and to identify their adoption barriers and trends. The study evaluated agricultural robots and AI case studies using secondary data. According to research, automatic labor-intensive jobs and data-driven choices by robots and AI boost precision agricultural productivity, output, and resource consumption. However, upfront costs, complex technology needs, and data management concerns remain. Tackling these problems is essential for achieving fair and equal adoption. The policy implications indicate that integrating these technologies requires financial incentives, training programs, and robust data protection regulations. The research emphasizes the potential of robots and AI to revolutionize agriculture by overcoming these restrictions and capitalizing on new trends. This transformation aims to enhance efficiency and sustainability to meet the increasing global needs.
