Electric fences are installed to protect agricultural crops from animals. But, it becomes useless when electric leakage occurs due to growth of weed. Therefore, we developed a device for detecting and notifying the leakage, and developed a self-propelled weeding robot which automatically mow the weeds along the electric wire in order to prevent leakage. As a result, leakage detection and notification became possible when the voltage of the electric fence was lower than the reference voltage. Also, it enabled self-propelled weeding robot mow the weeds along the electric wire.
