Developing robotics assisted technology for farming

在这个项目中，将开发一种新的机器人技术来帮助农民。这个机器人可以帮助摧毁不需要的杂草，播种小谷物，精确种植行作物，以及包装种植的种子。通过在自动化农业中使用这项创新技术，加拿大农业制造商将更具竞争力。机器人将被建造成在农田里操纵，以高效和经济的方式消灭杂草，并执行其他任务，以保护我们的绿色环境。科学数据将通过计算机模拟和实验产生，并进行比较。该项目的结果将是一种轮式移动机器人及其机械臂，以帮助农民提高效率和竞争力。由于该项目在NSERC具有竞争力的制造目标区域内，因此CRD应用是迈向整个项目的第一步。

In this project, a new robotic technology will be developed to help farmers. This robot can help to destroy unwanted weeds, to seed small grains, to plant row crop precisely, and to pack planted seeds. By using this innovative technology in automated farming, Canadian agriculture manufacturers will be more competitive. Robots will be built to maneuver in a farm field and destroy weeds in an efficient and economical way, and perform other duties, to preserve our green environment. Scientific data will be generated by the computer simulation and experimentation, and will be compared. The result of this project will be a wheeled mobile robot and its robotics arm to help farmers to be more efficient and competitive. Since, this project is within the NSERC competitive manufacturing target area, this CRD application is the first step toward the overall project.
