A farmer uses an automated robot to plant seeds in the field. State what is meant by the robot being automated. Give three characteristics of a robot. The robot plants seeds and stops when it reaches a fence. It then turns and continues planting seeds. The robot uses sensors and a microprocessor to know when it reaches a fence. Explain how the robot uses sensors and a microprocessor to know it has reached a fence. Give two advantages of the farmer using an automated robot to plant seeds. Give two disadvantages of the farmer using an automated robot to plant seeds. The robot is adapted to have machine learning capabilities. Explain how this will improve the robot.

A farmer has a plough that is an automated system. The plough is used to dig the ground in a field to prepare it for planting seeds. The plough uses sensors and a microprocessor to maintain a straight line when digging the ground. State what is meant by an automated system. Describe the role of the microprocessor in this process. Give two benefits to the farmer of using an automated system for this purpose. The plough uses artificial intelligence (Ato navigate its way around the field. Explain how the plough makes use of AI for this purpose.
