Abstract

A hybrid-powered multi-operation agricultural robot integrating solar and wind energy is presented, capable of autonomous seeding, weeding, spraying, and harvesting. The modular system uses a 400 W solar array and a 200 W vertical-axis micro wind turbine with Li‑ion battery storage. Mechanical design employed structural optimization; control architecture integrates ROS‑based SLAM navigation and CNN-based weed detection. Simulations (MATLAB/Simulink, ANSYS, Gazebo‑ROS) and field trials (2-acre vegetable farm, 30 days) achieved energy autonomy, task accuracy between 85–96%, 11.2h/day runtime, and 35% cost savings compared to conventional methods. Improvements include panel dust-cleaning, AI‑enhanced perception, and energy enhancements. The design demonstrates viability and scalability of sustainable, low-cost agri‑robotics for small-/medium-scale farms.
