Successful operation of orchards and vineyards under these conditions is practically impossible without careful and extensive use of state-of-the-art automation technologies and careful planning of future operations (e.g., training systems when replanting) that can be enabled by knowledge of emerging technologies and future trends. Also, improvement of existing automation technologies and development of novel future systems cannot be accomplished without a working understanding of the tree and vine biological production systems, their management needs, and the capabilities and limitations of existing automation systems. The book aims to provide the necessary knowledge to achieve the above goals in a way that can engage readers without engineering or horticultural backgrounds. .Agriculture Automation and Control,2731-3506AgricultureAutomatic controlRoboticsAutomationGeographic information systemsFood scienceAgricultureControl, Robotics, AutomationGeographical Information SystemFood ScienceAgriculture.Automatic control.Robotics.Automation.Geographic information systems.Food science.Agriculture.Control, Robotics, Automation.Geographical Information System.Food Science.631.3Vougioukas Stavros G.Zhang Qin1956-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910717426003321Advanced Automation for Tree Fruit Orchards and Vineyards3355607UNINA
