Abstract

In order to solve problems such as a decrease in the agricultural population and an aging population, research on agricultural robots is being actively conducted for the purpose of automating various agricultural tasks. The harvesting process is the most labor-intensive process among farm work and this process consumes about 2-3 times more compared to other processes. Since the transport of agricultural crops requires the most labor costs and there is a risk of injury during the operation, automating the transport operation through an agricultural robot can improve safety and significantly improve productivity. Therefore, this paper proposes an agricultural robot that is optimized for farm worksites and capable of autonomous driving.

농업인구의 감소, 고령화 등의 문제를 해결하기 위해 다양한 농작업의 자동화를 목적으로 농업용 로봇의 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 농가 작업 중 가장 노동력이 많이 투입되는 과정은 수확 과정으로 타 과정 대비 약 2~3배 소모된다. 농가의 수확물 이송 작업은 인건비가 가장 많이 들고 작업 중 부상의 위험성도 있기 때문에 이송 작업을 농업용 로봇을 통해 자동화시키면 안전성 향상과 더불어 생산성을 대폭 향상할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 농가 작업 현장에 최적화되고 자율주행이 가능한 농업용 로봇을 제안한다.
