Analysis of International Competition Situation and Research Fronts on Agricultural Robots

As a novel type of intelligent agricultural machinery, agricultural robots have received the attention of all countries, because they can replace human resources and improve labor efficiency and comprehensive productivity. Now the agricultural robot has become one of the focuses of technological competition in the international agricultural equipment industry. In this paper, with the agricultural robot related SCI papers as research objects, combined using bibliometric method, content analysis method and expert consultation method, we analyzed the paper output trends, hot research topics, national competition trends and research fronts of agricultural robots, aiming to grasp the international research situation, research front directions and future technology trends in this area, and provide decision support for research layout.
