  • Abstract

    Biomimetics (BM) is the multidisciplinary collaboration between the sciences and technologies that provides remedies to real-time ‎challenges by examining natural structures and applying their concepts to various usages. The present research examined BM ‎advancements, encompassing Bio-Inspired Robots (BIR) and swarming robots designed for multiple applications, such as fruit picking, ‎control of pests, and managing crops. The study showcased readily accessible BM solutions, such as Arugga Farming's robot honeybees ‎and the Robotriks Traction Unit (RTU) agricultural precision apparatus. BIRs have reduced risks associated with surface bruising, rupture, ‎crushing damage of plant cells, and deformation due to plastic during the gathering of soft-skinned fruits. Despite the potential of innovative ‎agricultural methods designed to emulate natural systems to mitigate climate change and promote growth in agriculture, there are ‎apprehensions regarding their long-term environmental consequences, financial implications, and inadequacy in supporting organic ‎processes like pollination. The marketplace for BIR technology with prospective uses in agriculture aimed at modernizing farming and ‎addressing the issues above has surged enormously. Future study and development should focus on creating economical Finite Element ‎Analysis (FEA) robots and FEA-tendon-driven gripping devices for agricultural harvests. In summary, BIR and robotic swarms possess ‎significant potential in farming‎.
