FEATURES OF APPLYING ROBOTIC SYSTEMS IN CROP PRODUCTION

The paper offers the analysis of applying robotic systems in agriculture of Russia. A specific character of agriculture, a low level of technical and technological, information and communications, and staff potentials of mediumand small-sized Russian agricultural enterprises explain the slow pace of introduction of agricultural robots. Weather conditions, agrolandscape zoning, seasonal character of work and other specific features of crop production impose restrictions on the development of robotic systems. The existing engineering tools are characterized by a low level of development of speech understanding technologies; they require the creation of modern power sources, bionic systems, as well as the use of microrobots. There are a number of problems to be solved: to provide R&D funding in robotics; to create the normative and methodical base for conducting measurements, tests and monitoring, robot quality and safety assessment; to upgrade and re-equip enterprises producing agricultural machinery; to increase competence of the staff and population in using information and communication technologies and robotic systems; to decrease cost prices for machinery; to create a modern information and communication structure in rural areas; to develop an advanced technology and machinery system with regard to agrolandscape zoning and robot application. Experience of industrially advanced countries in robotics has shown that this process could not pass without government support.
