Automated Control of Soil Aeration Machine to Agricultural Robot
The use of agricultural robots in agriculture is not new. They cancel human labor in bad conditions. Unfortunately, however, the application of this technology in the daily life of farmers is not yet common. This is mainly due to the high cost of the products and the frequent defects that occur during their operation. The use of robots in agriculture is related to the design of specialized equipment for each robot. This equipment is responsible for the accuracy and quality of the technological operations performed by the robot. Soil aeration is one such operation in which the soil is saturated with oxygen and its compaction is avoided. This article offers a variant of automated control to designed soil aeration equipment. The individual modules and elements of this management are considered. An algorithm in the form of a flowchart describing the functioning of the system is given.
