Abstract
The complex agricultural environment, together with the need for high levels of productivity, necessitates establishing robust systems that can be efficiently and economically developed. The absence of order and structure in the external environment heightens the probability of experiencing failures. Furthermore, it is often seen that equipment management is entrusted to those with little proficiency in technology. Therefore, the significance of intrinsic safety and reliability becomes a pivotal attribute. The issue of ensuring food safety requires using automated technologies that are both sterilized and reliable to minimize the risk of contamination leakage. This article examines the progress and prospects of automation in the agricultural sector, with a specific emphasis on the use of autonomous equipment, robotics, and artificial intelligence. The article examines the advantages of automation in enhancing the management of agricultural production, minimizing expenses, and achieving objectives related to environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge the complexities associated with automation, as it brings to light several obstacles such as the repercussions on agricultural workers, possible disparities in social and environmental aspects, and the need for more investigation and advancement.
