This volume contains a total of 13 papers covering a variety of artificial intelligence topics ranging from computer vision and robotics to intelligent modelling, neural networks and fuzzy logic. There are two general articles on robotics and fuzzy logic. The article on robotics focuses on the application of robotics technology in plant production. The second article on fuzzy logic provides a general overview of the basics of fuzzy logic and a typical agricultural application of fuzzy logic. The article End effectors for tomato harvesting enhances further the robotic research as applied to tomato harvesting. The application of computer vision techniques for different biological/agricultural applications, for example, length determination of cheese threads, recognition of plankton images and morphological identification of cotton fibres, depicts the complexity and heterogeneities of the problems and their solutions. The development of a real-time orange-grading system in the article Video grading of oranges in real-time further reports the capability of computer vision technology to meet the demand of high quality food products.
