Abstract

At the present stage of agricultural production development, Smart farming is widely used as a systematic transition from managing a separate technological operation to managing processes that ensure the achievement of the required level of overall profitability of production through the use of new decision-making tools and automated management technologies. This approach involves expanding the scope of machines, equipment and software, including the widespread use of robotic tools in horticultural production and processing technologies, in order to increase production efficiency, eliminate the “human factor” in the production of products, replace human participation in production processes with a large proportion of heavy manual labor and minimize harmful effects chemical protection products for humans and the environment. Another reason for the intensification of the development and implementation of robotic tools with intelligent control systems in agriculture is the shortage of technologists and engineers in farms, due to the unattractiveness of labor in the agro-industrial complex. The article discusses the issues of increasing the efficiency of industrial gardening, through the development and implementation of robotic systems and electric drive transformer modules in various technological processes. The features of the designs and practical application of robots with intelligent motion control systems on garden plantations are analyzed. The application of the block-modular principle of the layout of robotic machines is justified to increase the efficiency and productivity of their work in industrial gardening in various technological operations: plant care (spraying, milling of aisles) and harvesting.
