水田の化学成分マッピングを目的とした水田センシングロボットの開発

抄録

In this paper, the authors describe the development of a small robot for measuring chemical ingredients and environment information such as nitrogen, pH and electric conductivity etc. to know distributions of these in paddy fields. Developed robot is radio control device that has floaters in front and behind of its body and travels paddy fields by two wheels. The robot inserts the sensor in the ground and send the measured data by radio communication. Operation check is done in the cistern and the paddy field.
