Abstract:

The viticulture sector shows growth potential but faces challenges related to labor shortages, productivity, and quality control. This paper examines various robotic technologies used in grape cultivation and assesses their suitability for addressing these issues. By analyzing the current state of the grape-growing industry and the potential benefits of advanced robotic solutions, this study aims to offer recommendations for integrating robotics to improve efficiency and sustainability.

The research provides an overview and comparison of agricultural robots designed for tasks such as harvesting, spraying, imaging, and adapting to climate change. It also considers the costs of these robots and the infrastructure required for their implementation. Additionally, recommendations are made for large, medium, and small-scale farmers, suggesting suitable robotic technologies based on their income from grape cultivation.
