Abstract
This review synthesizes advances in tobacco transplanting machinery, with particular emphasis on regional adaptation, automated seedling handling, planting mechanisms, coupled modeling, intelligent sensing, and field robustness. High-throughput automation is well suited to standardized production, whereas hilly tobacco-growing areas require compact, maneuverable, and agronomically adaptable machines. Recent advances include compliant seedling-picking devices, buffered conveying, zero-relative-velocity planting, machine–soil–seedling modeling, machine vision, and digital twins. Persistent constraints include seedling variability, adhesive soils, slope-induced chassis disturbances, sensing degradation, and life-cycle cost. Future systems should integrate nursery standards, compliant mechanisms, robust perception, decision-oriented digital twins, and lightweight modular electrification.
