Technology keeps increasing in the realm of agriculture. It is in no doubt that they will replace human labor later because of their high efficiency and effectiveness. Robotic Rover is one of the examples of agricultural robots. It is designed by Australian researchers to herd cows like a cattle dog. It uses 2D and 3D sensors as well as global positioning technology to lead cows to where they need to go. Its most appealing features is its pace. It moves at cow-speed so that the cows will not need to rush. Unfortunately, as in other agricultural robots' downside, its price is going to be roughly $1 million Australian dollars.

Agricultural robots have been very popular these days in agriculture world. People around the world are racing to invent new agricultural robots to help farmers and farm owners in promoting efficiency and boosting higher income. One of the recent agricultural robots is called Wall-Ye. This robot is invented by a French named Christophe Millot. It is essentially a self-propelled robot for pruning vines, cutting young sprouts, and also monitoring soil and vine health. It is equipped with a very tight security system, meaning that it will only operate within pre-designated vineyards and the hard drive may self-destruct in perilous situations. The downside is that the robot may cost farmers about $32,000 each.
