Agriculture field has been improving to meet humankind important need, which is food. Farming went through different stages from traditional ways to mechanized ways nowadays and even irrigation, which is the most important part of farming. Currently, the proportion of old people involved in agriculture is increasing. In order to meet the increase in population number around the world we have to find agricultural solutions, which are more productive. Because of this, researchers and engineers started to design and implement agricultural robots, which is an extension of agricultural machinery revolution. In regards to tilling works, which requires considerable physical strength to operate tractors and this, could be a problem for old people. Therefore, our purpose in this paper is to present a small tillage robot for home gardens.
