Abstract

Agricultural robots that are operated in open fields have different mechanisms, sensing technologies, and functionalities depending on the crop and task. In this review, we present the classification of such agricultural robots and describe the mobile mechanism, power source, implementation, navigation, and sensing technology for each task. Finally, conclusions are suggested based on future perspectives.
