Rel. Marco Vacca, Massimo Ruo Roch. Politecnico di Torino, Master of science program in Mechatronic Engineering, 2022
Abstract
Agriculture is undoubtedly crucial to the livelihood of humans as a race, since it is and always has been a source of food and work for our ancestors and for the current generations. Automation in agriculture started, of course, with the automation of the industrial sector, as factories began using complex machines and steam power to operate. Such use of machines allowed the increase of the speed of manufacturing and to reduce the number of people needed. In the farming world, machines began to sow, row and harvest the crops, again reducing the number of people in the sector, which combined with the advancements in chemicals and bioengineering, also saw an increase in the yields.
There is however a difference that we must keep in mind when talking about farming and industry: farming is not as much as precise and predictable as industrial processes are
