Abstract
Evidence of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are set to reposition the practice and process of agriculture. This study addressed vital issues in agriculture such as the need for a 70% increase in food production by 2050 because of population growth, technology, and other issues sweeping human livelihood, and are challenges of food insecurity which is currently affecting more than 820 million people globally. Emphasis was placed on the potential of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) in curbing agricultural challenges in facts such as climate change, water scarcity, and pest management. The study identifies collaboration between different fields such as engineering and biology to help in uplifting agriculture. History has shown that with technological advances, less labor will be required in the practice of agriculture, and with efficiency and increasing food production. This implies that technology has improved the agricultural process, replaced workers, and created new channels for expansion. In particular, the study outlines how robotics are being adopted across African countries such as South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria, despite infrastructure and capital challenges.
