Abstract

This paper presents an innovative development of a multi-functional mobile robot for various agriculture applications. This is archive by design of a mobile robot called Di-Mobile Wheel. The Di-Mobile Wheel Robot is prototype design for exploiting and applying in agriculture application for precision farming. The Di-Mobile wheel robots balancing robots current research may provide the future locomotion for agricultural application. The concept of inverted pendulum principle is utilized to provide suitable control and provide an autonomous navigation with great balance. The Di-Mobile Wheel robot operates safely in unstructured farming environments. A Kalman Filter algorithm is used for providing optimal state by prediction from previous and current state of measurement. The auto-calibration includes automatic load calculation and set point. The design of the whole system has different phases, such as robot assembly, and its circuit, mounting of different sensors, implementation of algorithms through programming. The Di-Mobile Wheel robot goes through some testing and those results have been reported.
