DESIGN OF ROCKER BOGIE MECHANISM FOR APPLICATION IN AGRICULTURE

Vaishnav Rathod, Pratik Mokashi, Pranav Thakare, Dinesh Yadav

Abstract


Abstract: Rocker bogie is a mechanism which was used in the mission mars for the rough terrains or surfaces or uneven land of the planet without losing stability. This design has best advantage in vehicle stability and obstacle climbing. This mechanism we will be using in agriculture sector where normal suspension system mechanism is failed in such rough and multi terrain surfaces. We are making our project work on Bluetooth via Mobile so that the use of the prototype will be easy. Our main aim is to make such vehicle with minimal cost and light in weight so we will be using PVC pipes for our bogie mechanism. As the project is based on Agriculture so we will be using our project for seed sowing purpose and for that we have designed seed metering mechanism from scratch using plastic tiffin box and acrylic disk. All the electrical components and modules will be controlled by Arduino UNO R3 microcontroller and operation of rover will be wireless connection by Bluetooth module which will help to connect to mobile phones.
