Intelligent Robots and Drones for Precision Agriculture

This book provides extensive information about smart farming, precision agriculture and the technologies that make them succeed. The authors provide detailed machine learning and deep learning models and algorithms that can be implemented effectively to improve smart farming methods. The authors also give elaborate information about the various IoT devices and types of drones that are used vastly in smart farming culture. The authors show specifically how methods and techniques used to improve the crop yield can be executed to help the farmers to improve the agricultural process and cultivation methods using a rule-based methodology. The purpose of this book is to articulate the need for processes, platforms, practices, patterns, and rules to be followed for the better yield of crop production and how IoT, robotics and drones can be used to improve the economy of the countries in the field of agriculture. In a nutshell, the book shows how the combination of multiple cutting-edge technologies leads to the realization of state-of-the-art infrastructures for next-generation agriculture. - Provides insight on collecting and analyzing data using machine learning and deep learning methods for smart farming; - Includes detail on how to use AI, IoT, drone technology and robotics effectively in smart farming; - Details irrigation methods, soil classification, and prominent cultivation tools that can be improved using technology.
