| Research Abstract |
The experimental system based on the new concept of an intelligent robot for a rice production eco-system was developed in order to control weeds, prevent damage to rice plants by golden apple snails and reduce the farming workload. The models for the population dynamics of the snails were constructed according to such phases of farm work as tillage, paddling, rice planting and irrigation. The activity rate of snails was measured by an image processing analysis. It was proved that a lot of snails could be removed easily by the developed robot system.
