Abstract

This research presents the development and evaluation of a three-position gearshifts remote control system for agricultural tractors, designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce operator fatigue. The system utilizes a programmable logic controller to remotely control a linear actuator, enabling seamless gear shifting between three predetermined positions. The primary objective is to provide operators with a convenient, ergonomic alternative to traditional manual gear shifting, particularly in challenging or confined working environments. The system was tested under two conditions: first, with a programmable logic controller controlling the linear actuator via a remote transmitter; second, with the system installed on an actual tractor and tested in a road scenario. Results from both tests demonstrate the system’s effectiveness in enhancing ease of operation, reducing physical strain, and maintaining gearshifts precision. The findings suggest that the remote control system offers significant potential for improving tractor operation, particularly for tasks requiring frequent gear changes or when working in difficult terrain. This research contributes to the ongoing development of automation in agricultural machinery, offering insights into remote control applications and the integration of electromechanical systems in agricultural vehicles.

Abstract

This paper presents the design, construction, and development of a 6-degrees-of-freedom robotic arm, specifically tailored to the conditions at our university. The arm is powered by stepper motors and controlled via a programmable logic controller, while utilizing image processing data from a Raspberry Pi board. The objective of this research is to study automated pick-and-place operations, specifically targeting the handling of fruits such as oranges and apples. The system integrates advanced motion control techniques with vision-based object recognition to enable precise and reliable manipulation of the fruits. The robotic arm is equipped with an end-effector capable of handling objects with varying shapes and sizes, ensuring safe and efficient grasping and placement. Image processing algorithms are employed to identify and localize the fruits in real time, allowing the robotic arm to perform tasks in dynamic environments with minimal human intervention. Calibration, motion planning, and feedback control strategies are optimized to ensure high accuracy and prevent collisions or damage to the fruits. The system’s performance is evaluated through a series of experiments that demonstrate its capability to effectively pick and place oranges and apples, making it a promising solution for applications in agricultural automation and food processing.
