Robotics for a sustainable precision agriculture

The irruption of Information and Communication
Technologies in agriculture has provided new tools,
enabling the more regular and rational distribution of efforts
and inputs. This leaded into the current farm management
systems and crop management strategies, that take into
account the temporal and spatial variability of the crop. This
irruption of newdigital technologies, known as Agriculture 4.0
incorporated within Precision Agriculture, can revolutionize
agriculture and herald the dawn of a more autonomous and
stable agricultural world. A pallet of different applications can
utilize this novel technologies, for example in plant breeding,
nutritional assistance or pest management. A pest monitoring
system and the equivalent localized treatment applicator can
be conceived as a complex artificial system consisting of (1)
perception (sensors) for detection and 3Dmodeling of natural
structures, focusing on values of importance and interest. (2)
Decision making (processing) for the elaboration of an action
plan that monetizes the parameters of interest extracted
from the models into treatment decisions, always taking into
consideration the perceived and established objectives. (3)
Actuation (actuators): implementation of the treatment plan,
closing the perception-decision - actuation loop through the
control and development of intelligent tools. The integration
of perception systems for the detection and control of action
devices for treatment on autonomous mobile platforms
will allow a more exhaustive, and therefore effective, pest
treatment, as well as beingmore precise and safe both for the
agri-food chain and the environment. This general approach
is the basis for agricultural robotics.
