Design and Development of Multipurpose Agricultural Robot

EasyChair Preprint no. 11013

Abstract

This research paper introduces an autonomous agricultural robot powered by batteries, capable of performing a range of tasks, including ploughing, leveling, seed sowing, and seedling. The robot's frame is constructed from mild steel, and it uses DC motors for power transmission. A 3-DOF mechanism has been developed, with power and torque calculated at 0.01789 KW and 1.139 Nm, respectively. For sowing wheat, a rotating drum with a hopper mechanism is employed, while a four-bar mechanism is used for seedling purposes. These components are then integrated into a remotely controlled robotic vehicle. The successful implementation of this robot demonstrates its potential to transform agricultural practices by offering efficient and precise automation for a variety of farming tasks. The objective of this project is to improve the quantity of crops while working in small spaces and gaining a better understanding of operational principles of agricultural robots.
