"MECHANICAL DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ROBOT"
Abstract: “This paper presents a project developed at the Mailam Engineering college (Tamilnadu-India) aimed at designing, implementing, and testing an autonomous multipurpose vehicle with safe, efficient, and economic operation. This autonomous vehicle moves through the crop lines of a Agricultural land and performs tasks that are tedious and/or hazardous to the farmers. First, it has been equipped for spraying, but other configurations have also been designed, such as: a seeding ,plug platform to reach the top part of the plants to perform different tasks (pruning, harvesting, etc.), and a trailer to transport the fruits, plants, and crop waste.”
