Design of Wheels of Agri-Rover for Both Dry and Wet Surfaces (Run-Way)

Abstract

The agricultural sector is susceptible to changes in output, methods, and modernization, much like other industry sectors. Farmers' methods of labouring in the fields may be altered by agricultural robots. An agri-rover is most beneficial to farmers since it reduces the time required to plant seeds in the field. It is also possible to automate other farming procedures. The goal of the rover created for this project is to provide farmers with automated planting and ploughing. The wheel and tire system is necessary for easy mobility on uneven, dry, and wet surfaces. Thus, the right wheels are chosen. A problem for this project was the apparatus's weight. The rover's weight was raised by having too many joints and links, which also made manufacturing it more difficult. For the rover to be able to withstand drastic temperature changes throughout its year-round operation, certain materials must be chosen. This is because the rover would function throughout all four seasons, from seed sowing to harvest. Ansys modelling was used to simulate stress, load, and deformation analyses.
