Silkworm Handling Robots: Transforming the Sericulture Industry

Sericulture sector has relied traditionally on labor-intensive operations in producing and harvesting silkworms. Recent innovation also brought about robotics/automations and a dedicated robot to handle silkworms. These silkworm robots are expected to enhance the efficiency of sericulture rearing, safety of workers, and general improvements in productivity. With this research, the design and functionality of silkworm handling robots have been assessed, as well as their impact on the sericulture industry. Future challenges and opportunities for the integration of robotics in this field have also been discussed.
