In recent years, due to the improved performance of artificial intelligence, precision agriculture, and advanced control, they have been widely used in various agricultural applications, including management, disease detection, crop monitoring, yield estimation, and crop harvesting. Robotics and autonomous machines represent a high-level application of automation in agriculture, based on precise and resource-efficient approaches to sustainably achieve greater efficiency and quality in the production of agricultural products while reducing environmental impact. Reactive technologies based on agricultural robots and autonomous machines are separate but closely related fields covering the application of automated control and robotic platforms at all levels of agricultural production. In robotic or autonomous systems, agricultural sensing and control is particularly difficult due to the complexity of the environment in which agricultural production operates. The open robot system has good expansibility, versatility and flexible operation ability. The establishment of agricultural robot control system can guarantee the reliability and real-time control. A total of 26 papers are included that explores the various ways in which robotics and autonomous machines for agricultural production address general problems.History of engineering & technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscadoptionagricultural robotagricultural roboticsagricultureapple detectionapple graderapple harvestingartificial intelligenceattention mechanism SEautomated weldingautomatic peeling machinesautonomous navigationautonomous robotsautonomous vehiclebale collection problembinocular visionbroadcast monitoringCANopen protocolcloud computingcluster fruitcomputer visionconstant-pressure feedbackcotton precision plantercotton seedercotton seedscracked eggsdairy farmdata acquisitiondeep learningdensity-based spatial clustering of applications with noiseDIoU_Lossdronesduckbillegg's electrical characteristic modelelectrical characteristicsfield experimentfilm recyclingfilm recycling rateFin Ray effectfinite element analysisforage handlingfresh weight predictionfully connected neural networkgarlic clove rightinggarlic seedinggenetic algorithmgenetic ant colony stepwise algorithmglobal optimizationgrowth modelhigh-performance film for full recyclinghigh-speed photography technologyIndustry 4.0information perception of fruit treesIoTjujube pruningkinematic analysisleast-squarelightning attachment procedure optimizationmachine learningmachine visionmanipulatorMask R-CNNmicrocurrent signal analysismishmissed broadcast monitoringmobile manipulationmotion planningmotor-drivenmultiarm harvesting trajectory optimizationmultiobjective optimizationn/anaive Bayesian networknavigation line extractionneighborhood collectionno-tillagenondestructive detectionobstacle avoidanceoptimization and optimal controlorchard machineryorientation recognitionpath extractionpath planningperformance testphenotypingphotoelectric sensorpicking manipulatorpicking robotpineapple eyepoint cloud registration of fruit treespoultry eggsprecision agricultureprecision planterpusher robotrecognitionregression superpositionresidual networkrobotic pest controlrobotsshrimpShufflenetV2Simufact Weldingskeleton extractionslip detectionsmart productionsoft grippersolar greenhousesowing qualitystep-size dichotomystereo matchingstereo-matchingstraw-rotting fungussubstrate-cultivated lettucetactile perceptiontechnologythree-dimensionaltiller countingTO-RRTunmanned vehiclesviticulturewavelet scattering convolutional networkwelding robotYOLOv5YOLOXHistory of engineering & technologyTechnology: general issuesBOOK9910743274003321Robots and Autonomous Machines for Agriculture Production3560538UNINA
