Abstract

In agricultural production, there is a growing demand for machines and equipment which operation is characterized by relatively low energy consumption and high productivity. The demand of agricultural producers for such technical means can be met through the introduction of innovative technical developments, in particular, robots and robotic complexes. They contribute to saving labor resources, increasing the productivity of work and performing work in hard-to-reach places.

The low rate of introduction of robots in agricultural production is explained by the insufficient study of the feasibility of their implementation and the effectiveness of using robotics in comparison with traditional agricultural technologies. There are also no theoretical developments on this problem or methodical recommendations for the introduction of robotics. In addition, systematic training of personnel for maintenance of this type of equipment has not been established. Therefore, there is a need to develop the theoretical foundations of designing and using robotics in agricultural production. It is also worth developing methods for determining the expediency of implementing this equipment and evaluating its effectiveness.

The article emphasizes the importance of introducing robots and robotic complexes in agricultural production. There were outlined the main tasks that can be effectively solved with the introduction of robotics.

It was analyzed the movement of the robot on the crawler tracks during the passing of turns. It was received the equation of motion of the robot passing turns, the determination of the speed of the center of mass of the robot and the turning radius. The works of domestic and foreign scientists on the problem of introducing innovations in agriculture, particularly, robots and robotic complexes, are the basis of the research carried out by the authors.

Key words: agriculture, innovation, robot, movement, turn.
