Designing Wheeled Robot with Rocker Bogie System for Precision Farming

Abstract

This study presents the development of a small autonomous robot designed to support precision farming through improved mobility and control efficiency. The robot employs a Rocker-Bogie suspension system to maintain stability and traction across varied terrain, ensuring even load distribution. Six DC motors are controlled using a discrete PID system optimized through MATLAB simulations to achieve precise speed and position control. By integrating mechanical design and control optimization, the proposed system enhances operational efficiency, reduces environmental impact, and contributes to sustainable and intelligent agricultural practices.
