Why is it important?
The rise in demand for food worldwide has led the agriculture industry to seek means to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Agriculture. One of the possible ways was through the introduction of Automation and Robotics in Agriculture. This paper helps researchers around the world as they venture into this field.
Perspectives
Research Series: Robotics - Software Design (PhD work) [2012 - 2017] For my PhD, I focused on the Robot Operating System (ROS), the world's leading open-source platform for robot system development. My work focused on bringing ROS to agriculture, specifically for outdoor operations. This paper represents the early stages of that work, when I was still reviewing Agriculture Robotics & Automation technologies at the time.
