Manipulator Design For Robotic Oryza Sativa Pesticide Application.

ABSTRACT

This paper present a study of the Malaysian paddy fanner in north Malaysia that faced a
health problem due to the frequent used of the pesticide in controlling the pest in the wet
paddy field. The scope of the study is designing the mechanical structure and
manipulator of the robot that being controlled by the RF signal controller for the
automation of spraying process. The mechanical design has been taken into
consideration in structure design stage. The electric DC motor has been chosen to drive
the one degree of freedom manipulator ann that spread pesticide to wet paddy field. The
design is being evaluated followed by certain criteria like stability and equilibrium using
a several methods that will present in this paper. This paper also present a study of the
structure due to the pesticide pump robot that controlled by the RF signal obtain by
estimating mechanical loading. The electric motor itself produces the load torque and the
inertia variation using digital simulation due optimized the mechanical structure. The
present method can be Used the machine element, stability and the equilibrium of the
rigid body and the behavior of the robots when it goes to action in the unpredictable soil
structure in the wet paddy field. The paper also include the research due to the problem
face by paddy farmer in north peninsular Malaysia due to the health etlect on the
frequent used of the pesticide in controlling pest in the wet paddy field.
