Precise seeding planter concept with air pumped seedtube

Abstract

The current methods for seed placement in row planting equipment is accomplished with a variety of mechanically driven vehicles. In this context, robotics and automation play a crucial role. However, agricultural working environments require specific solutions regarding positioning and motion control of autonomous vehicles. Our research involves the process of modern sowing device's designing and developing. The technical result is in the increase in functionality by ensuring quality control of sowing, determining the seed speed during sowing and the possibility of changing the seed speed during sowing. The proposed utility design has many advantages compared with the prototype and other well-known technical solutions.
