Abstract: Automated agricultural robotics integrates robotics, sensors, IoT communication, and AI to modernize cropping systems. This review expands on the user's uploaded summary of a modular field robot (microcontroller-based control, LoRa communication, seed metering, irrigation, and fertigation modules). We synthesize recent literature on agricultural robots and precision-farming technologies, evaluate sensing and communication choices, discuss autonomy levels and AI integration, and outline environmental and socio-economic implications. Key challenges and future research directions are energy autonomy, reliable low-cost sensing, robust perception for unstructured fields, and equitable deployment are highlighted
