Abstract
The objective of this research is to realize fully robot-operated farming from tillage to harvest in large-scale agriculture such as cultivation of rice, wheat and soybean in Japan. For this purpose, three types of robot have been developed; the first is robot tractor, the second are rice transplanter robots, the third are combine harvester robots. RTK-GPS and inertia measurement unit (IMU), or GPS compass, are used for navigation system. Robots have Controller Area Network (CAN) bus that all sensors and PC can be connected in common among other robots such as tractors, rice transplanters, and combine harvesters. These robots could be done autonomous operation in paddy field. In addition, moving between the fields for effective operations and safe guideline for robot system were discussed.
