Definition
Smart technologies, also known as Intelligent Systems, correspond to technologies used for sensing, decision-making, and actuation in systems that can work autonomously and act and modify the world. Smart technologies in agriculture use actuators to modify the environment based on data measured through various sensors with the goal of maximizing the success of agriculture tasks. Example technologies include Sensors, Imaging Techniques, GPS, and map** tools, Robot and Autonomous systems, Artificial intelligence and Machine learning technologies, Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Computer Vision, and Satellite Images, all of them seeking to improve productivity and sustainability of agricultural task.
Introduction
Smart technologies in agriculture are intelligent systems and technologies that allow solving complex agriculture problems. These computer, electronic, and machine-based systems are based on technologies that use artificial intelligence,...
