Sensing technologies usable in agricultural land
Keywords: Mechatronics, Measurement, Control, Sensors, Agriculture
In recent years, the decrease in the agricultural workforce and the aging of workers have led to increased burdens on operators and decreased work efficiency. As a result, numerous agricultural machines have been developed, allowing for a reduction in labor through automation and enabling tasks to be performed more efficiently. This trend is expected to continue in the future. Therefore, I am focusing my research on sensing technologies that can be used in agricultural fields. For drones and robots to operate accurately in farmland, it is necessary to measure the conditions of crops and fields correctly. While there are many existing measurement techniques, the environment is different from that of residential or manufacturing sites, as it involves nature. My research aims to increase knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages in agricultural fields. For example, I am currently considering surface position detection and validating methods for detection using ultrasonic waves that travel underground, as well as evaluating the followability of methods that involve pressing an elastic body into direct contact.
