Review Paper on Agricultural Terrain Traversal Rocker Bogie Mechanism

Abstract: This paper details the design and implementation of a terrain traversal system leveraging the rocker-bogie mechanism, specifically tailored for agricultural applications where uneven terrain presents significant challenges. The rocker-bogie suspension system, renowned for its application in planetary rovers, is innovatively adapted to navigate the complexities of agricultural fields. The primary objective of this research is to create a prototype that minimizes soil disturbance while effectively maneuvering over obstacles such as rocks, furrows, and varying soil conditions. Through this approach, the prototype aims to enhance operational efficiency in critical agricultural tasks, including planting, monitoring, and maintaining crops. The system's design incorporates advanced navigation capabilities, potentially integrating sensors for obstacle detection and GPS for precise positioning. This research addresses the pressing need for low-cost, scalable solutions in the realm of agricultural mechanization, ultimately contributing to improved productivity and reduced labor costs in farming operations. The findings from this study are anticipated to provide significant insights into the future of agricultural technology, paving the way for further innovations in automated systems that can adapt to the dynamic challenges of modern agriculture. The successful deployment of this prototype not only underscores the feasibility of the rocker-bogie mechanism in agricultural settings but also highlights its potential to revolutionize practices in the industry.
