In the use of robots in agriculture, small robots have the advantage of low invasiveness to crops and fields, but on the other hand, there is a problem that they are difficult to run due to environmental factors such as terrain. In order to solve this problem, we prototyped a small paddy field robot that has a mechanism in which wheels follow the bottom of the water according to the water depth. Effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by water tank experiments.
