USING ROBOTS FOR AGRICULTURE

Unknown to most of us, many teenagers have already built their own drones using microprocessors such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Knowing that, it makes me wonder whether these kids could also build their own robots, considering that a robot is basically a drone, and vice versa, a drone is basically a robot. When the term drone is mentioned, most people would probably think of flying drones, because that is the most popular application of this technology now. However, as of now, there are many other variations of drones, such as walking drones and swimming drones, as in swimming under the water. I also recall that some innovative students have already built solar powered electric vehicles some years back. Since in theory those vehicles might have already used robotics technology, then it would not be far fetched to think that anyone with the right technical inclination could already build robots in one form or another. Many robotics companies recently showcased their prototypes, and one popular model is that of a robot that looks like a dog and walks like a dog. Looking at that model, one would wonder it is actually a drone with legs, or whether it is a robot that simply looks like a drone. That said, why don’t we look into the idea of building drones and robots to replace farm tractors? IKE SENERES/09088877282/12-27-2023
