Design of a Multi-Task Robot for Date Palm Farming Using SolidWorks

Abstract

Date palm cultivation is vital to agriculture in arid regions, but essential tasks like pollination, pruning, pesticide application, and harvesting remain labor-intensive, hazardous, and inefficient. While mechanized solutions exist, they are costly, complex, and less adaptable, making traditional manual methods still widely used. This study presents the Multi-Task Robot for Date Palm Crops, designed and visualized using SolidWorks CAD modeling to automate key farming tasks. The robotic system integrates mechanical components and task-specific tools optimized for precision and adaptability. While real-world implementation and functional simulations were not conducted, CAD-based visualization demonstrates design feasibility. Future work will focus on performance validation through simulations and prototyping. The proposed system aims to enhance efficiency, reduce labor dependency, and improve safety, offering a scalable and cost-effective alternative to existing mechanized and manual methods.
