This review reports the recent state of the art in the field of mobile robots applied to precision
agriculture. After a brief introduction to precision agriculture, the review focuses on two main …

Seedling transplanting is an essential step in vegetable cultivation. Although vegetable
transplanting can be automated and mechanized, mostly is still performed manually, which …

Purpose Overturning on uneven and sloped surfaces is an important issue during the
operation of agricultural field machinery. In this study, the geometrical (size and location) …

Aimed at solving the problem of the incidence of large film-breaking holes in the current
sweet potato boat-bottom-shaped transplant, a boat-bottom-shaped up-film transplanting …

The development of an automatic seedling planting system for micro-farms requires testing
under laboratory conditions to verify the theoretical relationships between essential …

The purpose of this study was to develop a kinematic model of a gear-driven rotary planting
mechanism for a self-propelled onion transplanter. The kinematic model was simulated …

A variable velocity parallel four-bar cavitating mechanism for well-cellar can form the well-
cellar cavitation which suits for well-cellar transplanting under a continuous operation. In …

Aiming at the problems of seedling injury and planting leakage due to the lack of seeding
clamping force detection and real-time control in vegetable transplanting, a force feedback …

With a focus on the problems of complex structure and accumulated lateral clearance in the
single degree of freedom non-circular wheel system seedling-picking mechanism, which …

A gearbox is an essential component of an automatic transplanter to transmit engine power
to the transplanter components. It is necessary to find the appropriate gearbox dimensions …
