The purpose of this study is to develop a motion control method that enables autonomous running and a sensor system to detect rice plants of weeding robot in paddy field. The motion control method consists running along rice plants rows and turning. The sensor system consists of six capacitive touch sensors to detect the rice plants. In this paper, we carried out running experiments using imitations of the rice plant in a paddy field. The effectiveness of the developed motion control method and sensor system is verified by the experiments.
