Abstract
Precision Agriculture, developed in the United States in the late 1970s, is now widely used with the aim of improving the quality and sustainability of agricultural productions through the right treatment, in the right place, at the right time. However, in many countries such as Italy, it has found significant limitations, since the small size of farms and the high average age of farmers prevent its mass diffusion. In modern agriculture, relying on Precision Agriculture concepts, mobile robots have become a key ally, for both data collection and accurate plant maintenance operations. By automating different tasks, these intelligent machines maximize production, increase its quality, reduce cost and improve the precision of farming operations.
In this context, among the Agritech projects, the idea of the Agricultural Mate Robot (AgriMaRo) was born to support farmers in a sustainable way, adhering to the strategy proposed by the United Nations in its development goals
