Experimental Study on Quadruped Wheel Robot for Wheat Precision Seeding

Abstract

The wheat precision seeding technology provided an advanced agricultural protection for the high yield of wheat. But the lack of an effective agricultural machine made this technology difficult to apply widely. In this paper a quadruped wheel robot to achieve the wheat precision seeding technology was designed. And experimental study was taken under different operating conditions. Because of multiple effort factors, a quadratic orthogonal rotation combination design method was applied in the experiments, and identifying the main factors by analysis. Then the field test was carried out according to the main factors. The experiment results showed that the qualified rates of seeding exceed 93% in different sowing speed. That reached the agronomic requirements of wheat precision seeding.

Adaptive Multi-Robot Communication System and Collision Avoidance Algorithm for Precision Agriculture

“…During the last decade, robotic systems have gained popularity for solving tedious agricultural tasks in field operations. Agricultural field operations are quite complex and different robotic systems were developed to solve these complexities in agricultural field operations, such as seeding [1], weeding [2], harvesting [3], spraying [4], and fertilizing [5]. According to a market research firm, the agricultural robots market is expected to reach from USD 4.6 billion in 2020 to USD 20.3 billion by 2025 [6].…”
