S151013 Development of Weeding Robot for Paddy Field

Abstract

We propose a "Weeding Robot" which can autonomously travel while weeding. In this paper, we describe the influence of the difference in soil property on the robot, and the optimization of the body structure and wheels. Furthermore, we report our Findings and comparisons of the robot being controlled by radio control and of it running autonomously. We also discuss the control algorithm and how it is more stable on irregular ground.
