1A1-B03 Development of a Small Weeding Robot "AIGAMOROBOT" for Paddy Fields : Development of a Autonomous Drive Control System(Robotics and Mechatronics in Agriculture)

Abstract

We propose an organic cultural method for paddy fields in hilly and mountainous areas. In this method, a small rover (AIGAMO ROBOT) does the weeding by running in the paddy and stirring the soil. And now, we are developing a autonomous drive control system for the robot to reduce farmer's labor load. This paper describes the outline of development and experiment on the robot.
