The purpose of this study is to develop a power assist device with crawler moving mechanism in order to reduce the burden on the grape growers. The power assist device is mounted to a mobile robot by a flexible arm and consisted a linkage mechanism in order to use a single actuator. The mobile robot consists of two tracked vehicles in order to work in the vineyard. The effectiveness of the proposed power assist device is verified by the result of the experiments.
