Robots are heralded as part of a new revolution in agriculture. The agricultural robot’s capacity to reduce working time or improve working conditions is often advanced as a major contribution to sustainable agriculture. But the transformations of work appear to be more complex. Here we review the transformations of work subsequent to adoption of agricultural robots on the farm. We carry out a systematic review of literature using a multidisciplinary analytical framework of transformations of work. We consider four dimensions of work: 1) farm structure and the labor market; 2) work organization; 3) meaning of work; and 4) technical-economic performances. Given that the deployment of robots in agriculture is still in its early stages, most of the studies concern the automated milking system (AMS). The transformations of agricultural work represent an emerging topic dominated by a technical and economic vision of work. The major points are as follows: Concerning farm structures, we find no evidence of a relationship between robotization and a certain farm size. Concerning the labor market, there is a risk of skill- and wage-related segmentation and exclusion. The AMS is an example of an in-depth re-organization of work with a decrease in the physical workload but which is concomitant with a new mental workload of monitoring alarms. Concerning the meaning of work with AMS, the changes in the animal-human relationship lead to the possibility of new identities and new self-perceptions by farmers and workers. There is no evidence to support a reduction in working time when an AMS is installed. Finally, a synthesis of the results allows us to propose a research agenda that can better orient future research to understand the diversity of transformations of work resulting from the adoption of robots in agriculture.

机器人被誉为农业新革命的一部分。农业机器人减少工作时间或改善工作条件的能力通常被认为是对可持续农业的重大贡献。但工作的转变似乎更加复杂。在这里，我们回顾了在农场采用农业机器人之后工作的转变。我们使用工作转换的多学科分析框架对文献进行系统回顾。我们考虑工作的四个维度：1）农场结构和劳动力市场；2）工作组织；3）工作的意义；4) 技术经济性能。鉴于机器人在农业中的部署仍处于早期阶段，大多数研究都涉及自动挤奶系统（AMS）。农业工作的转型代表了一个由工作的技术和经济愿景主导的新兴话题。要点如下： 关于农场结构，我们没有发现机器人化与特定农场规模之间存在关系的证据。关于劳动力市场，存在与技能和工资相关的分割和排斥风险。AMS 是深度重组工作的一个例子，它减少了体力工作量，但同时伴随着监测警报的新的脑力工作量。关于与 AMS 合作的意义，动物与人类关系的变化导致农民和工人有新身份和新自我认知的可能性。没有证据支持安装 AMS 可以减少工作时间。最后，
