How will robotics help the future of agriculture and farming in your country?
Dear Dennis
As you know the world population is expanding, and we need increase in food production. In order to achieve this, farming equipment need to evolve.
A few existing ideas about agricultural robotics are about to change. No drivers will be needed to run robotic tractors. The tractors will operate by themselves. Robotic tractors will change the way that farming is performed within our lifetime. It is the beginning of a new future for agriculture. Also hundreds of mobile agricultural robots are in existence already.
Major tractor companies like John Deere, Case and more, have already demonstrated autonomous tractor prototypes for the future. These tractors are ideally suited for large-scale crop farming and will definitely increase yields.
The arrival of mobile agricultural robots will replace heavy, fast and large tractors with light (no soil compaction), slow (more attention to a plant) and small (less costly) unmanned robots. “If machines are too large, they compact the soil and plants don’t like soil compaction. This problem was alleviated with controlled GPS machines.
Surely,I think Robots will revolutionize the agricultural sector in the days to come.
What particular functions in agriculture and farming will robots be most useful to the people of your country?

Dear Mohammad,
How large is too large of a tractorin terms of soil compaction?
