Department of Agriculture Unmanned inline sprayer launch

Mr. Rapeephat Chandrasriwong, Director General of the Department of Agriculture revealed that Thailand grows many important crops, including field crops, flowering plants, fruit trees and vegetables, especially fruit trees and vegetables. There is a planting area of ​​more than 7 million rai, or 5% of the country’s agricultural area. More than 2 million rai is a plantation area with raised fur that must be maintained by boat. including the use of boats to provide water and spray pesticides in the furrows In the past, no research has been done on unmanned boat technology. forcing farmers to sit in boats and pluck the stuff yourself This creates a risk of damaging the stuff being plucked.

Mr. Yuthana Kruehanchanpong Special Agricultural Engineer From Agricultural Engineering Research Institute So the idea is If some technology can be developed together with technology imported from abroad to control water without workers and spray boats . It will be an opportunity to develop a boat control system for supplying water. or spraying chemicals to be widely used It reduces import costs. and promoting production for domestic use

for ship control systems Radio controlled camera system and evaluation Through a Raspberry Pi embedded system that controls the electricity supply through a generator, forward motor, electric valve, injection pump, and radio wave control. It is controlled by a forward direction motor, a radio control system and a camera processing system. Automatic course maintenance when the boat moves in a straight line using a camera placed in front of the boat. It automatically maintains its course when the boat moves in a straight line using Python Code. managed by hand
