Robotic Tractor

This project explored the development of a robotic tractor that can perform multiple farm tasks, such as plowing, disking and spraying, with a view toward increasing productivity while creating a safer work environment in the process. A set of low-cost, adaptive components that could be added on to any tractor will allow any farmer, no matter how small the operation, to reap the benefits of robotics technology in the agricultural sector.
