Advanced Sensing and Robotics Technologies in Smart Agriculture
Description
This book specifically focuses on state-of-the-art advanced sensing and robotic techniques in smart agriculture and comprehensively describes the new knowledge. Significant agricultural technology progress in advanced sensing and robotics technology has been made recently, which has transformed the conventional agriculture to smart and digital agriculture It provides readers take-away knowledge for seed quality detection, specialty crop harvest and sorting robotics, new sensing method for crop nutrient status, and broadband soil dielectric permittivity measurements. All these new technologies have been developed, tested, or practically applied. It is a useful reference for readers in the field of smart agriculture and agriculture robotics.
