Robot desbrozador todo terreno amortiguado mediante sistema Rocker-Bogie teleoperado por radiofrecuencia

Abstract

The present thesis addresses the design, development, and evaluation of an All-Terrain Damping Brush Cutter Robot through a Rocker-Bogie System Teleoperated by Radiofrequency. The main objective is to create a specialized brush cutter robot capable of operating efficiently in various types of terrain, ranging from rough terrains to areas with dense vegetation. The central focus of the design revolves around the implementation of a Rocker-Bogie suspension system. Inspired by those used in space rovers, this system provides a unique combination of stability and flexibility, allowing the robot to adapt to abrupt changes in terrain and maintain constant contact with the ground for efficient power transmission and traction control. Remote operation capability is achieved through a radiofrequency-based teleoperation system. This method grants the operator precise control over the robot, which is essential when facing challenging and potentially hazardous environments. Specific aspects of the development of the remote control system will be addressed, including the user interface, data transmission, and safety features to ensure precise and secure manipulation. In addition to addressing mechanical design and control systems, the research will include an experimental phase in which the robot’s performance in real-world environments will be evaluated. Aspects such as speed, efficiency in weed removal, and adaptability to various types of terrain will be analyzed. These critical analyses of the results will enable the identification of areas for potential improvement and necessary adjustments in the design and operation of the brush cutter robot. In summary, this thesis aims to advance the field of robotics specialized in agriculture and terrain maintenance by proposing a comprehensive approach that combines innovative mechanical design, efficient suspension, and a radiofrequency-based remote control system to create a highly functional and versatile All-Terrain Brush Cutter Robot.
