To ensure the food security it is imperative for all countries to consider on agriculture sector in high priority as numbers of people are increasing in every year but the agricultural field remains same. As a result robotics and automation systems are extensively applied to agricultural sector. Several motivations are behind the investment to incorporate robotics in agricultural sectors like decreasing labor forces, saving time and cope up with the high product demand. Apart from those, increasing food quality, production security and finally reducing end product cost are also vital parameters for automation revolution in agriculture. Moreover, farmers are getting exemption from extensive physical effort. In fact, those phenomenons are especially considerable and important for developing countries such Bangladesh. This research represents a review on some common robotic technology that is used in agriculture sector of Bangladesh and also other developing countries. In addition to that, this research also discuss about technical point of view regarding advantages and disadvantages of those agro-based robots and way to improve that technology considering particular country farming situation. A review on recent agro-based robotic technology used in developed countries is also presented here. Finally, future scope of utilizing those advance technology in similar areas in Bangladesh has been discussed.
