Abstract
Agriculture, as a critical sector in the global economy, faces increasing challenges such as growing demand for food, limited resources, and the need for sustainability. The integration of automation technologies and cloud robotics in agriculture has emerged as a transformative solution to address these challenges. The chapter introduces and elucidates how it leverages cloud computing and data analytics to bring efficiency, scalability, and intelligence to the agricultural landscape. Several case studies are presented to illustrate real-world applications of cloud robotics in diverse farming settings, highlighting their impact on resource management, crop yield optimization, and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the chapter identifies the hurdles and barriers hindering the widespread adoption of cloud robotics in agriculture, including cost, connectivity, and data security concerns, and offers potential solutions to overcome these challenges.
