开源农业机器人可低成本精准除草,减少作物损伤。

AgriCruiser: An Open Source Agriculture Robot for Over-the-row Navigation

  • 可调节轨距与越障高度,实现小半径转弯,适应不同田垄。
  • 单次喷洒使杂草数量减少24至42倍,优于人工除草且伤苗更少。
  • 零件通用化设计,成本约5000-6000美元,适合科研与推广。

我们提出AgriCruiser,一款开源的过行间农业机器人,旨在实现低成本部署与对多种作物及行距布局的快速适配。其底盘可调轨距为1.42至1.57米,离地间隙0.94米,最小转向半径0.71至0.79米,支持高效回转操作。平台具备良好扩展性,本研究中集成精准喷洒系统用于评估除草效果。在12块亚麻田中,单次机器人喷洒使藜和威尼斯马齿苋总杂草量减少24至42倍,相较于4块人工除草田表现更优,且作物损伤更小。在混凝土、沥青、砾石、草地及干湿土壤上的移动实验表明,其行走性能稳定,符合扭矩设计预期。整车可采用市售T型槽型材组装,加工量极少,物料成本约5000至6000美元,支持复制与定制。结果表明,低成本、可重构的过行间机器人可实现高效除草,降低劳动需求与作物损伤,同时为表型分析、传感等应用提供通用平台。设计文件与实施细节已公开,以推动模块化农业机器人研究与应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We present the AgriCruiser, an open-source over-the-row agricultural robot developed for low-cost deployment and rapid adaptation across diverse crops and row layouts. The chassis provides an adjustable track width of 1.42 m to 1.57 m, along with a ground clearance of 0.94 m. The AgriCruiser achieves compact pivot turns with radii of 0.71 m to 0.79 m, enabling efficient headland maneuvers. The platform is designed for the integration of the other subsystems, and in this study, a precision spraying system was implemented to assess its effectiveness in weed management. In twelve flax plots, a single robotic spray pass reduced total weed populations (pigweed and Venice mallow) by 24- to 42-fold compared to manual weeding in four flax plots, while also causing less crop damage. Mobility experiments conducted on concrete, asphalt, gravel, grass, and both wet and dry soil confirmed reliable traversal consistent with torque sizing. The complete chassis can be constructed from commodity T-slot extrusion with minimal machining, resulting in a bill of materials costing approximately $5,000 - $6,000, which enables replication and customization. The mentioned results demonstrate that low-cost, reconfigurable over-the-row robots can achieve effective weed management with reduced crop damage and labor requirements, while providing a versatile foundation for phenotyping, sensing, and other agriculture applications. Design files and implementation details are released to accelerate research and adoption of modular agricultural robotics.
