Implementation of remote control for a spraying robot

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to develop an intelligent spraying robot to reduce the sprayed pesticide use, reduce health-harm to human beings so that farmers can be protected and labor intensity can be reduced. The robot will have driving control, spraying mechanism and system design, obstacle avoidance with multi-sensor module integration, complete path planning and navigation systems. The spray robot will be developed, including simulation and analysis of obstacle avoidance, spraying and sensor integrations. It is not only for monitoring orientation and tracking motion path but also for compensating path errors to achieve good stability and reliability. Meanwhile, the spraying system will be further enhanced to reduce leakages and avoid repeated spraying, including varying automatic sprays to the target.
