Chapter 1Robotics and Automation in Food Processing, Developments Prompted by the Present Era Industrial Revolution
Abir Chakravorty
The first three industrial revolutions have indeed drastically changed the landscape of agriculture—from purely traditional farming to mechanized farming, and now, with the latest technological advances, to precision agriculture. Moving toward an industrial farming model has greatly increased productivity, but also brought on a wide range of problems that have gained strength over time. Industry 4.0 is on the threshold of revolutionizing agriculture once again, thus heralding the fourth agricultural revolution. It starts by discussing the current state of industrial agriculture and dwelling on the lessons learned from the patterns, processes, and supply chain of industrialized agricultural production. Next, we touch on five highly relevant emerging technologies that can help propel Agriculture 4.0 and beyond: IoT, robotics, AI, and big data analytics. We will focus on how these technologies are being used in the agricultural domain, and on various challenges in the research community. With this article, we hope to discover new research opportunities for the reader, especially from the academia as well as the industry side.
