智慧農業機具與輔具之應用

The Application of Agricultural Machinesand Devices in Smart Agriculture

臺灣農業在耕地面積狹小的不利條件下，面臨農業人口老化、缺工、全球化競爭與氣候變遷等問題，以小農為主體的臺灣農業目前面臨永續發展的挑戰。行政院農業委員會於106年度開始執行「智慧農業」計畫，期以智慧生產與智慧化管理，突破小農困境，提升農業整體生產效能。農業勞動力為農業之根本，面對缺工、人口老化之嚴峻挑戰，是我們農業部門最重要的課題。農委會的智慧農業計畫為解決勞動力不足的問題，進行了智慧農業機具、輔具的規劃與應用，如採收搬運輔具、高光譜檢測技術、魚體選別整排技術等研發，希冀藉智慧科技，讓農民運用省力省時省工的工具，有效率的進行農業生產。

In recent years, the Taiwan agricultural sector has faced some considerable challenges; arable land becomes scarce; the rural population is aging; labor is in short supply, global competitions and climate change. Due to restrictions from the natural environment and high production costs, Taiwan’s agricultural industry is less competitive compared with other countries in the world. In order to boost agricultural productivity, the Taiwan government promotes “Smart Agriculture Program”, a new proposed pilot project based on sensor/sensing technology, Intelligence Robot, Internet of Things (IoTs), and Big Data analysis, is expected to build a smart production, marketing, and digital service system to effi ciently elevate the whole agricultural productivity and capacity. Furthermore, in order to cope with the problems of labor shortage and aging, Smart Agriculture Program includes the plans and application of agricultural machines and devices, such as assistive robotic exosuit, hyperspectral technology in quality checking, automatic fi sh sorting and so on.
