Role of Mechatronics in Agriculture Transformation

摘要

Mechatronics is an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to engineering design is increasingly being used in the design of cars, robotics, machine tools, washing machines, cameras, and a wide range of other technologies. Agriculture's development was a turning point in a human history. The ability of fully-modern humans to engineer the environment to provide enough food to sustain tremendous population expansion was the first major shift in their interaction with the environment. Agriculture ushered in a slew of innovations, ranging from the use of fire and prepared food to self-driving machinery. Modern agriculture has been totally revolutionized by technological developments ranging from robotics and drones to computer vision software. Farmers now have access to instruments that will assist them in meeting the growing demands of our world's population. This paper focuses the advanced Mechatronics based automation areas in agriculture sector such as challenges in agriculture sector, precision agriculture, farm automation, robots and machineries used for advanced farming with their benefits precisely. Present paper included a case study of a farmer from Village Bhatkhed, Dist. Jalgaon, Maharashtra. Also, authors have fabricated IDC & RSFIDC soil humidity sensors for soil humidity measurement. A farmer has used various mechanization tools such as inverter, sprinkler systems, drip irrigation, PV systems to increase the crop production for betterment of his life in the society.
