Abstract	Mango cultivation methods being adopted currently are ineffective and low productive despite consuming huge man power. Advancements in robust unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's), high speed image processing algorithms and machine vision techniques, reinforce the possibility of transforming agricultural scenario to modernity within prevailing time and energy constraints. Present paper introduces Agricultural Aid for Mango cutting (AAM), an Agribot that could be employed for precision mango farming. It is a quadcopter empowered with vision and cutter systems complemented with necessary ancillaries. It could hover around the trees, detect the ripe mangoes, cut and collect them. Paper also sheds light on the available Agribots that have mostly been limited to the research labs. AAM robot is the first of its kind that once implemented could pave way to the next generation Agribots capable of increasing the agricultural productivity and justify the existence of intelligent machines.
