The machinery which is used in agriculture and farming is known as agricultural machinery. There has been a gradual shift in the recent years to introduce technology in order to automate these machines and minimize human intervention. A few examples of the different tasks, which are being automated are monitoring moisture in the soil, seeding and harvesting. There are various software and hardware components involved in these processes. The software components are aimed at managing soil, seeds, irrigation and fertilizers to make predictions and provide information to maximize yield. The hardware components are sensors, drones, harvesting robots and seeders. The topics included in this book on agricultural automation are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
