Design of paddy weeding robot

摘要

Robot research is being studied in various regions for educational, medical and military purposes. However, robot is still applied in agriculture practices is extremely low. In this study we have developed a robot for weeding. We consider specification of Korean paddy to apply it. Water depth during rice transplanting seasons, interval that rice planted, size of paddy for deciding velocity needed to implement in real and soil status to determine actuator power. We design the robot to satisfy the needs that the robot has to have to adapt it in the Korean paddy. We select engine as actuator of robot and we design the side weeper to weed which is perpendicular on the direction of move.
