Design of Agricultural Spherical Robot

“Precision Agriculture” is one of pilot technology to achieve sustainable development of agriculture in the 21st century. For the defects of destruction crops and soil compaction when large agricultural machinery working, this paper presents a method robot for the precision agriculture. The whole robot is spherical, rounded appearance, in the mobile operations will not damage to crops. The whole system composition by the remote controller and the robot two parts, both complement each other to achieve the robot move omni directionally in the fields and fixed collection of greenhouse information, also live observations the capture images within the camera in robot through the phone, remote monitoring and service crop, which has a practical value and theoretical significance.
