{"product_id":"agricultural-robots-naoshi-kondo-9781920901837","title":"Agricultural Robots: Mechanisms and Practice","description":"The history of Japan's agriculture is characterized by efforts to increase production and productivity. At the beginning of the 21st century, both public and private sector research has focused on developing ever-more sophisticated tools to address a wide-range of challenges facing the agricultural industry. An amazing array of automation technologies and robots have been developed in the process, to do everything from tilling fields to picking strawberries, from planting rice seedlings to autonomously weeding the paddies. This richly-illustrated volume surveys the results of these efforts, concisely and plainly presenting specific examples of the latest robotic mechanisms and practices for agricultural applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naoshi Kondo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1920901833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781920901837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trans Pacific Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 260","brand":"Naoshi Kondo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445873357055,"sku":"9781920901837","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d073964-ef5f-400d-acfd-ebc048e8228d.jpg?v=1777221212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/agricultural-robots-naoshi-kondo-9781920901837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
