Conceptual design of a lightweight Areca tree robot

Abstract

Robot's uses are increasing in areas such as food, consumer goods, wood, plastics and electronics. But still most researches have involved in the Agriculture industry. The aim of this new work is to develop prototype of areca tree with conceptual design. The robot motions from Areca tree is controlled by separate motors. However, the concept of three individual motor is representing a part of the prototype and its design is evaluated. The wrist also needs to be constructed in the top of the robot which is used for cutting the Areca nut. Thorough analysis has been made to recommend that a mechanical prototype is made to test the movements of the robot. The concept of designing lightweight materials is realized by using the newly developed prototype with the design that is resulted from the implemented design process. Hence, that the robot is used for agricultural industry in future.
