Cloud Robotics in Agriculture Automation

In agriculture, most of the works are labour intensive. Farmers are suffering from lack of work force that struggles the industry to cope up with market need. In developed countries smart farming became a boon to increase efficiency and quality of agriculture production. Smart farming is a technology that involves various advanced technologies like IoT, robotics, automation systems, precision agriculture into existing farming methods. This improves the quality of life for farmers by reducing labour and tedious works. Robots or automation systems developed for agriculture has limited computational capability, memory and storage. Cloud computing enables users to access scalable pool of resources on-demand. We can use conveniently high-performance computing and storage through cloud with low cost. In this paper, we introduce the use of cloud computing in the smart farming and precision agriculture. We believe our paper creates innovation and scope for designing Cloud based Agri-Robots which helps to improve agricultural production efficiently.
