Smart Robotics in Hydroponic Agriculture: Enhancing Efficiency and Sustainability

Abstract

The traditional farming practices of ancient times were rooted in soil quality and land nutrition, contributing to successful crop yields and profitability. However, these methods were labor-intensive and time-consuming, requiring substantial manpower to maintain extensive agricultural lands. Despite the emphasis on soil quality, challenges arose in consistently maintaining optimal nutrition levels for crops. In contrast, hydroponics, a modern agricultural technique, revolutionizes this paradigm by cultivating plants in a soil-free water solution. This innovative approach offers potential solutions to the challenges of traditional farming, providing a more space-efficient and controlled environment for crop growth, ultimately enhancing productivity and nutritional management.
