Smart Farming Using Robots in IoT to Increase Agriculture Yields: A Systematic Literature Review

Robots are beneficial in everyday life, especially in helping food security in the agricultural industry. Smart farming alone is not enough because smart farming is only automated without mobile hardware. The existence of robots can minimize human involvement in agriculture so that humans can maximize activities outside of farms. This Study aims to review articles regarding robots in smart farming to increase agriclture yields. This article systematically uses the systematic literature review method utilizing the Preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses (PRISMA) by submitting 3 Research Questions (RQ). According to the authors of the 3 RQs, it is necessary to represent the function and purpose of robots in farms and to be used in the context of the importance of robots in agriculture because of the potential impact of increase agriculture yields. This Research contributes to finding and answering 3 RQ, which are the roots of the use of robots. The results taken, the authors get 116 articles that can be reviewed and answered RQ and achieve goals. RQ 1 was responded to with the article's country of origin, research criteria, and the year of the article. In RQ 2 the author answered that Research often carried out 6 schemes, then the most Research was (Challenge Robots, Ethics, and Opinions in Agriculture) and (Design, Planning, and Robotic Systems in Agriculture). Finally, in RQ 3, the author describes the research scheme based on understanding related Research. The author hopes this basic scheme can be a benchmark or a new direction for future researchers and related agricultural industries to improve agricultural quality

Modular Attachment System for Tactical Robot

The goals of this report are to clearly define the problem and the scope of this project, present information regarding background design research, explain the process taken to reach the final design, go over the part procurement and manufacturing process, outline the assembly steps, and verify the design against the criteria through testing. The problem and scope of the project were defined using the constraints provided by the project sponsor, Blueline robotics. Blueline needs a modular attachment system for their tactical robot. The completed background research contains existing robot solutions that deal with similar tasks. Many of these existing robots lack modularity at the base of the arm for a variety of general attachments. As a result, further research of general “quick-release” attachment points or systems was necessary and done through existing patents. Further brainstorming, functional decomposition, morphological matrices, and decision matrices were utilized to come to a design concept for the preliminary design review (PDR). Discoveries through the prototyping process after the PDR led to re-designing components of the design due to parts being too complex and expensive to manufacture. The final design retains all the functionally of the previously proposed design in a simpler, more cost-effective manner. The final design was manufactured both on Cal Poly’s campus, and at the team members’ residences. The final design was verified to have met the given criteria through multiple tests. For organization and project management, a Gantt chart and Quality Function Deployment chart were created to outline goals, establish timelines, and kindle proper design direction under identified specifications
