Research Abstract |
A head-feeding combine robot that autonomously can travel by GNSS was developed in this study. This combine robot can harvest rice crop at speed of 0.6m/s, and it can turn left at 90 degrees or 180 degrees to change its direction at headlands. When a grain tank of the robot is full of grains, the robot travels nearby the transporter autonomously, and it can unload grains from tank to transporter automatically. After that, it starts to harvest the nearest rice crop again. Additionally, the robot can send information about position and machine status of the robot to a data server by mobile phone. Furthermore, a Web application to remotely monitor the position and machine status of the robot was developed.
