In Japanese mountainous region, there are many levee slopes, in which weeds are grown and effective vegetation are needed. Conventionally, string trimmers are used to conserve the vegetation. At the same time, however, it is true that some of the users, especially of the elders, have an accident by them. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain. The Japanese government, accordingly, has been promoting the automation of agricultural machine to prevent such accidents. This research describes wheels for weed cutter robot that has a mechanism for changing camber angle on steep levee slopes. The usefulness of it, moreover, was evaluated by simulation.
