Abstract

Intelligent systems in their fields focus on interaction with users and changes and dynamics of social and physical environments. Today's smart systems and robots are independent equipment that can understand their surroundings and pursue specific goals. Despite the fact that this technology is still in its infancy, it has yielded significant results such as fundamental applications related to the new concept of precision agriculture. Several developments have contributed to the emergence and then growth in the field of intelligent agricultural devices, including: the rapid increase in computing power in recent years (in terms of speed and storage capacity), the emergence of electronic components and rich sets of sensors, most of which are relatively inexpensive, and the spread of global positioning systems such as GPS. Although in our country, due to the special conditions of agriculture, such as the small size of the land and the weak economic power of farmers,but in order to use from the many benefits of smart agricultural mechanization and increase optimal production with minimal losses, the familiarity of agricultural managers and operators with these intelligent systems and the sciences related to them should be included in the development-application programs of agricultural research institutes.
