Abstract
Automation in agriculture has revolutionized crop harvesting, and cotton picking machines stand at the forefront of this transformation. Automated cotton pickers improve harvesting efficiency, reduce labor dependency, and enhance crop quality. This article reviews the evolution, technologies, and field experiences related to automated cotton picking machines. It examines design improvements, sensing and control mechanisms, operational challenges, and economic impacts. Results from recent field trials highlight the benefits and limitations of automation in cotton harvesting. The study underscores the importance of integrating advanced sensors, robotics, and AI for next-generation cotton pickers.
