Mechanized production of processing tomatoes depends on coordinated operations, but crop variability and successive material transfers make performance strongly condition-dependent. This narrative review used structured, non-systematic literature identification across multidisciplinary databases and publisher platforms...
Soybean harvesting is strongly affected by low pod position, lodging, pod shattering, moisture variation, and changing material flow, making stable low-loss operation difficult across diverse field conditions. This review synthesizes 179 core publications identified through structured literature searches and citation t...

With the rapid expansion of the shallot industrial scale, the high costs and low efficiency associated with traditional manual harvesting have emerged as core bottlenecks restricting the sustainable development of the industry. When deployed in shallot fields, existing general-purpose root-crop harvesting equipment enc...
Agricultural drip fertigation is a highly coupled dynamic process in which precision resource management depends on the coordinated performance of the entire equipment chain. Against the backdrop of global water scarcity and excessive fertilizer application, improving the full-process precision of mixing, injection, se...

Inland waters such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers, fish ponds, and confined hydraulic structures impose turbidity, shallow-water acoustic multipath, dense boundaries, dynamic biological interference, and limited communication on underwater robots. These coupled constraints can simultaneously degrade sensing, localization...

Agricultural machinery operates under variable loads, impacts, dust, and changing soil–crop interactions, allowing faults to propagate through energy, material, information, and control pathways. This qualitative review synthesizes 195 research publications across fault formation, trustworthy diagnosis, prognostics and...

High-value greenhouse crops require quality-sensitive selective harvesting under labor shortages and variable crop conditions. This review synthesizes 188 unique primary studies and examines robotic harvesting as a complete task chain rather than a set of isolated sensing or manipulation modules. Embodied intelligence...
Sweet pepper is a high-value crop in protected horticulture whose robotic harvesting is complicated by canopy occlusion, asynchronous ripening, the need for precise peduncle cutting, and stringent damage limits. This review presents a systematic search and narrative synthesis guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for...

With the rapid expansion of modern facility agriculture, harvesting robots for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and other solanaceous fruits have become key equipment for alleviating labor shortages. However, in unstructured greenhouse and open-field scenarios, branch and leaf occlusion, overlapping fruit clusters, var...
