Abstract
These studies were aimed to form a novel approach using agriculture robots or agribots for its opportunities and challenges in the smart farming of phytomedicinals and phytonutrients. Agribots help serve as important tools in smart farming or precision agriculture because they can quickly collect valuable data to help farmers fine-tune their methods of planting, irrigation, pest control, harvesting and more. Observations from the study revealed that smart farming aided by the use of agribots, is an idea that is compelling. Conventionally, the agriculture of phytomedicinals and phytonutrients has been a manual activity over the years, and getting used to agricultural robots would be a cultural and emotional change. With robotics engineers and scientists who study phytochemistry, plant genetics and biology, these plantations which apply smart farming techniques could prove to be an ideal breeding ground for robotic agricultural technology.
