Abstract
Agriculture is becoming increasingly demanding due to climate change challenges, necessitating continuous monitoring and changes, including soil assessment for precision agricultural requirements. Agricultural soils are heavily utilized by farmers through the application of pesticides and nitrate phosphates to enhance yield. The exacerbation of flood-drought conditions is resulting in soil irregularity, necessitating meticulous soil monitoring at each location. Soil monitoring is prohibitively costly for numerous farmers. To address this issue, the implementation of a compact, energy-efficient, low-cost mobile robotic platform equipped with various sensors for soil monitoring would be prudent. Farmers can remotely manage, analyze surface upper soil strata, and examine topography. The relevance to research activities and active recreation may result in a low cost for a series of behaviors that enhance comprehension of the examined environmental details. The specialized three-wheeled mobility platform is a novel apparatus engineered for autonomous navigation and task execution. The robot’s three-wheel design confers exceptional mobility and stability, enabling effective operation in restricted areas and across various terrains. It is outfitted with sensors and a control system that guarantees accurate navigational control and obstacle evasion. The programming and modification features enable the robot to be tailored for specialized functions, including data collecting, small load transfer, and environmental monitoring. The robot is applicable for educational, scientific, industrial, and domestic uses. Consequently, the three-wheeled mobile robot serves as a versatile and promising platform for the advancement of contemporary robotic systems.
