Abstract

Many advances in technology have made the agriculture business a much less labor intensive industry to be a part of. If we think back even only 50 years, farmers were just beginning to incorporate technologies into their farming techniques. It has been said that individuals that are involved in the farming industry are some of the least susceptible to change. They are very set in the ways of those came before them. When we take a look at the farming industry now, we can see that this is rapidly changing. Farmers are looking for new ways to implement technology to cut costs and reduce labor hours. One of the ways that farmers are beginning to explore new technologies in farming come from the autonomous Tractor (robot). The battery powered Mobile operated wireless agribot is something that is very new to the agriculture industry, but is quickly gaining popularity from agriculture research companies around the United States. These agribot are described by Farm Industry News as a tractor that drives its solve with a computer in control. Although still in the research phase of development, autonomous robot are rapidly becoming more of a reality than an idea.One of the ways that farmers are beginning to explore new technologies in farming come from the autonomous Tractor (robot).
