Abstract
The inner workings of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) employed in agriculture consist of navigation sensors, computational techniques, path planning algorithms, and control strategies. Various smart sensors, such as optical sensors, are integrated into automated machines to detect early signs of pest infestation in standing crops. Additionally, UAVs are equipped with different types of sensors required for analyzing crop-related parameters category of agricultural robots. These robots, along with automated machines, are utilized to accomplish precision farming objectives. Autonomous navigation systems. Among the most common sensors are optical ones, including RGB, multispectral, and hyperspectral cameras.
Keywords: Agricultural drone, precision farming, smart sensors, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
