Theoretical and Experimental Research on the Technological Process of Spraying and Dynamics of the Motorized Agricultural Platform

Abstract

This article presents the results of a research developed by INOE2000 - IHP, as well as a functional model of a motorized agricultural platform used for spraying in horticulture. This is part of a complex crop monitoring system that, with the help of a quad-copter, generates a map that is used later for remote guiding of the agricultural platform, which is equipped with tracks system and a differential steering system allows it to turn in place or with a very small radius to track as accurately as possible the trajectory generated by the remote guidance system. The spraying equipment of this agricultural platform is designed to be used in a wide variety of horticultural crops with the ability to adjust both the direction and the spraying distance.
