Application of Artificial Intelligence, Sensors and Robotics in Agricultural Mechanization

Abstract

Agriculture is the backbone of India’s economy, contributing around 18% to the GDP and employing nearly 58% of the population. In 2022–23, total food grain production was estimated at a record 329.687million tonnes, exceeding the five-year average. Rice, wheat, and maize are the most mechanized crops; however, the country’s overall mechanization level is only 47% (Table 1), much lower than the 95% in the US and 60% in China.
