Agricultural robots are a new generation of unmanned automatic operating machinery that can be controlled by different program software to adapt to various agricultural operations, feel and adapt to crop types or environmental changes, and have artificial intelligence such as detection (such as vision) and calculation. In 2024, certain agricultural robots, such as rotary tillage robots, will be widely promoted. This time, let's talk about this topic.
1、 Types of agricultural robots
After the emergence of agricultural robots, they developed rapidly, and many countries carried out research and promotion, resulting in various types of agricultural robots. Intelligent robots will also increasingly replace manual labor to complete various agricultural tasks in the vast fields. The widespread application of agricultural robots has changed traditional agricultural labor methods, improved operational efficiency, and promoted the development of modern agriculture.
1. Intelligent rotary tillage robot
Intelligent rotary tillage robots can be used for tillage operations in farmland, such as in fields, greenhouses, orchards, etc. It can automatically perceive and recognize the terrain and obstacles in the field through integrated sensors and navigation systems, achieving autonomous navigation and planning of cultivation paths. Intelligent rotary tillage robots can be started, preset tillage paths, and controlled through remote controls, mobile apps, or computers.
2. Field management robot
Field management robots can carry out field management operations such as intercropping, fertilization, and weeding.
Fertilization robots will start from the actual situation of different soils, apply fertilizers in moderation, reduce agricultural costs, and improve groundwater quality.
The weed removal robot uses a combination of a camera and a computer device that recognizes images of weeds, crops, and soil. By using camera scanning and computer image analysis, the weed position is determined and the robotic arm is driven to perform targeted weed removal.
The spraying robot has key technologies such as path planning, intelligent obstacle avoidance, autonomous navigation, target spraying, and image recognition, which can replace manual operations, save manpower and costs, and avoid the harm of pesticide mist.
3. Fruit and vegetable picking robot
The fruit and vegetable picking robot consists of a tractor equipped with a computer, an optical vision system, and a robotic arm. It can determine whether the fruit is ripe based on its size, shape, and color, and decide whether it can be picked or not. Adopting a four-wheel drive four wheel power chassis, it can achieve omnidirectional motion and stationary rotation, greatly improving the adaptability of application scenarios. It works at an extremely fast speed, picking 60 fruits per minute while only about 8 can be picked manually. In addition, the harvesting robot uses a robotic arm equipped with a video camera to have no damage to the fruit, and can immediately classify the picked fruit according to size or color.
4. Farm transport robot
The transportation robot has the characteristics of autonomous navigation and multifunctional loading. It can be equipped with a loading bin to transport feed to the feeding point in a timely, fixed, and even manner. It automatically relies on multiple sites, unloads feed in a fixed amount, and has automatic return charging and intelligent obstacle avoidance functions. This type of transport robot can also be used for transporting goods on farms or rotating livestock and poultry.
2、 The easiest to implement and promote agricultural robots
Agricultural robots sound tall and difficult to implement, and some varieties of agricultural robots do. However, some varieties of agricultural robots are relatively simple and may be relatively easy to promote. In my personal opinion, farming robots may be a relatively easy variety to implement.
In recent years, there have been a variety of farming robots participating in exhibitions, including relatively simple remote-controlled tracked rotary tillers and complex intelligent rotary tillers. Below are some exhibits of rotary tillage robots exhibited at the 2023 Yongkang International Agriculture and Forestry Expo.
Most rotary tillage robots use batteries as their power source, which causes little environmental pollution and is particularly suitable for cultivation in enclosed environments such as greenhouses. In addition, it is also very suitable for cultivating small plots of land in hilly and mountainous areas, as well as vegetable and orchard cultivation. At present, there are many enterprises involved in the research and development and production of rotary tillage robots, with a variety of product models, making it relatively easy to popularize. If agricultural machinery purchase subsidies are added, it may be widely promoted in 2024.
