Recently, it has gotten special attention because of agricultural labor shortages and rising labor costs. With the increasing operational use of agricultural robots, the need for a dedicated robotic simulator for such activity has been noted here. The need of a dedicated and specialty simulator for agricultural robotics research is the main focus area of this paper. Moreover, limitations have been pointed out when conventional robot simulators are used directly in agricultural settings. In a nutshell, it has been tried to emphasize that a dedicated simulator for agricultural robotics would be a timely advance and would accelerate the growth of agricultural robots.展开更多
