This topic will talk about the different ways in which robotics can interact with its environment. It will dive into different actions necessary such as seeding, weeding, picking, spraying. It will not discuss the mechanical aspects in high details, but will be more in depth about the use of sensors and the decision making and reasoning of the way of work. It will also discuss the choices that need to be considered while designing for specific applications. Then this topic will also briefly mention data and monitoring applications, where the focus is mainly on the software capabilities, and not the hardware.
