A curated list of robot manufacturers, start-ups, implement providers and automation technologies for agriculture. The list is structured to cover sources of information, the existing and upcoming robots,and the automation technologies. Finally, I added also relevant resources to understand digitalisation of agriculture and the wider context of automation for this sector. Agricultural robotics is rapidly under the pressure of some major trends: the increasing lack of labour, the societal pressure to improve by a greater precision or even reduce to zero the use of phytochemical, and the achievement of a favorable technology ecosystem. As such, this list will be curated with constant updates.
An increasing number of sources are becoming available on internet to learn about existing and upcoming agricultural robots. They can be grouped in three categories: curated databases and directories, documents, and projects
- DuckSize, by Corné Rispens is the most specilized one, with videos of field tests and outdoor exhibitions
- Aspexit by Corentin Leroux provided probably the first interactive map of agricultural robotics available here (in French), now embedded in the new overwhelming and growing database of digital and technological solutions for agriculture (link to the directory). Here the link to the section for robotis
- Agricultural Robotics by GOFAR is the top newsfeed website about agricultural robotics, constantly fed by the organisers of the yearly World Forum of Agricultural Robotics that achieved already 6th edition in 2022 (FIRA)
Documents about agricultural robotics include research articles and reviews, books and various types of reports and static lists.
