Abstract

In organic farming, eradicating weeds is a problem because great importance is attached to the ecosystem, and consequently agricultural chemicals are not used. Therefore, a great deal of heavy labor is needed for eradicating weeds. The aim of this research is to design and implement a robot arm for weeding mounted on a robot in a paddy field. It is hoped that this research will result in rice field managers being able to remove weeds remotely by means of being able to observe the rice field via a stereo camera. This task will make a big reduction of time and labor for rice farming.
