Past literature has reported many successful cases about crops in greenhouses. The main function of greenhouses is to recreate and keep adequate and controlled conditions of light, humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, and pesticides, among others, in a confined space to grow plants for diverse purposes. However, those conditions can be potentially harmful to humans that work in greenhouses. An alternative to overcome this is the application of robotics in those agricultural sites, adequately applying artificial intelligence and mechanical subsystems that are part of a robot. This paper describes a literature review of research and development of robots used in activities such as spraying pesticides and for harvesting in greenhouses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
