AGRIBOT

• India will assure ground-breaking food production yield and competitiveness only by raising efficiency and lessening labour reliance on agricultural processes. 

• Our nation stands second in the world's production of fruits and vegetables. Manual harvesting of fruits and vegetables for the fresh market accounts for 30 to 60% of the total production costs, contributing to a high net share in the product's final price. In addition to this high labour cost, it foists unreliability and timeliness costs due to the need for a more expert labour force that undertakes repetitive tasks in harsh field conditions. 

• Mechanization, a continuing human effort for centuries, can potentially displace some physical labour. Still, the next step is to accomplish higher goals by automation and appending a level of artificial intelligence. 

Our central vision is to transfer from tedious manual operation to continuous robotic harvesting, a type of flexible automation. Agribot is a term used for a robot designed for agricultural purposes. The main area of application of robots is at the harvesting stage of fruits and vegetables, as it is one of the best contenders for automation.
