This Special Issue aims to present new innovative approaches in agricultural robotics and artificial intelligence. We solicit original contributions from both researchers and practitioners reporting on ideas and approaches to enable robotic systems in agriculture. Attention will be given to fostering the connection between robotics and plant sciences for solving real-world problems.

Of particular interest are papers in which the research combines design and analysis and involves an investigation into disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, as well as the study of innovative locomotion systems, including passive/active articulated suspension systems for wheeled robots, articulated tracked vehicles, legged robots, and hybrid, reconfigurable, and bio-inspired architectures.
