For the development of the agricultural industry, the current task is to design mobile robots that can independently perform a wide range of tasks. In this area, it is necessary to achieve both a reduction in the mass of the robot to reduce its impact on the top layer of soil, and an increase in its operating time without recharging from batteries. A promising method for improving the efficiency of agricultural machinery is the use of braking energy recovery, its accumulation and use during further acceleration. In this case, efficiency increases without reducing the dynamic qualities and performance of the equipment. The use of a flywheel energy accumulator allows you to use energy recovery in agricultural machinery, without resorting to difficult-to-maintain and relatively low-life batteries.
