Embedded Design of Automatic Pesticide Spraying Robot Control System

Abstract

In agriculture, crops need to apply pesticide spraying flow control precisely to reduce costs, protect the environment, and increase yield production. Although there have several variable control methods for spraying flow control because indirect control flow techniques and having a slow response could cause inaccuracy and mismanagement, also noted that those systems also suffer from complicated design and debugging, etc. In this paper, an embedded design of the fuzzy PID variable spraying control method is adopted. The experimental results show that the overshoot of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control is 10.76%, and the overshoot of fuzzy PID control is 7.17% which can meet the requirements of an advanced spray control flow system. For further investigation, a novel spray flow control method based on Programmable Logic Control (PLC) is proposed in this paper.
