| Summary: | The wide range applications of mobile robots can be seen from domestic appliances to large scale implementation. One of the possible applications that can benefit from the use of mobile robots is large scale plantations. However such applications, say in oil palm plantations, poses real challenge due to the multi-terrain nature of such environment. Described in this thesis is the development of multi-terrain mobile robot for oil palm plantation. The development of the robot consists of three different of prototypes which test the different design parameters of the mobile robots, and the analysis and results used for the design and development of AGROBOT. Several implementation strategies were tested, such as localizations, power consumption and ability to maneuver. The testing of the mobile robot was a success and able to move along desired preset paths along the oil palm trees. The waypoint navigation will follow the path and recorded the desire route with the capability of avoiding the obstacle. The success in the implementation of a multi-terrain mobile robot, AGROBOT, will benefit the agro industry and may be used for application such as pesticide spraying and weeding. |
