Design of a novel electronic circuit for AC induction motor speed control

Abstract

Recently, interest has increased in the technology of manufacturing and controlling agricultural robots by remote control system using Arduino shield. Forward speed control and steering are the most important points in the designing of agricultural robots. Due to the high prices of DC motors and unavailability in the local markets with the desired power, thus this study the possibility of using AC motors by inventing an inexpensive method through which a robot can be operated using AC motors and it can also be operated and controlled remotely using an Arduino board Via Bluetooth, which leads to reduce the manufacturing costs of the robot and thus reduce the operating costs in performing the required process.Peer review under responsibility of Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, Al-
