Robotics in agriculture improves efficacy and production by automating tasks such as planting, harvesting, and monitoring yield conditions. This study explores how automation and robotics can be used in agriculture to lower environmental impacts and to understand the world's developing needs. It addresses concerns about how skills can upgrade farming, reassure sustainability, and transform industry. The research observed data-driven precision irrigation techniques and drones that work on their own for crop inspection. It is an instance when agriculture is a bound attempt between technical knowledge and individual skills, yielding a strong agricultural ecosystem. Agriculture incorporates systematic and creative methods to increase crop production and raise animals. This study examines the ability of automation and robotics in agriculture to reduce ecological harm and achieve the increasing demands of the overall population. It reviews how these skills can improve agricultural procedures, encourage environmental sustainability, and alter farming practices. This research examines the usage of data-driven correctness of irrigation techniques and self-directed drones for supervising crops. It sees a future in which agriculture combines advanced skills with human capability, resulting in a farming landscape that is adaptable and sustainable. Agricultural robotics and automation offer increased productivity, competence, and sustainability in the face of challenges, such as food shortages and ecological concerns. This paper provides an overview of these technologies and highlights their capability to reduce labor expenditure and effectively handle resources. It employs tasks such as commercial and scientific limitations, suggesting results that influence developments in artificial intelligence and sensors. To address this challenge, several machine learning models have been applied. Agriculture Robotics Artificial Intelligence Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
