Remote-Controlled Indian Tractor That Can Be Operated Without Human Interference
Remote-controlled tractors can provide several benefits in agricultural settings. They can be more efficient than traditional tractors because they can work continuously without breaks, and they can also operate in challenging terrain or hazardous conditions where it may be unsafe for a human operator.
Tractors are popular agricultural machinery in India, which is primarily an agricultural country with a large farming population. India is the world's largest manufacturer and seller of tractors by volume. The tractor industry in India is dominated by several major players such as Mahindra & Mahindra, TAFE, Escorts, and Sonalika.
These days, the remote-controlled tractor is also in trend. It is a type of vehicle that can be controlled wirelessly from a remote location. This type of tractor is usually used for agricultural purposes, such as ploughing, tilling, and planting crops.
And recently to save energy and labour costs, Telangana’s Kakatiya Institute Technology and Science (KITS) professor and his students made a remote-controlled interface to operate a tractor without any human interference, with a less cost of just Rs.20K per tractor.
In a statement, the KITS professor told that he faced difficulties in operating a tractor with high labour costs and the risk of driving the vehicle in unfavourable climatic conditions, so he thought of having a tractor without human interference.
That’s why he constructed a team with his students and made a remote-controlled interface with the help of funds from the Department of Science and Technology run under the Central Government.
The team installed a microcontroller in this unique tractor. The team also fixed three activators to operate the clutch, brake, and accelerator without human interference. The talented team installed a motor to the vehicle in order to operate the steering wheel. This unmanned tractor’s remote interference is developed in such a way that it can be controlled through a mobile phone.
The KITS team said that a farmer can operate this driverless tractor at his farm field from his home or also from somewhere else. They used a tractor with 45 HP which has been running successfully,
The KITS Team also explained that one has to spend Rs.20,000 to fix this remote-controlled interference to a tractor.
The remote control for a tractor typically includes a transmitter that sends signals to a receiver on the tractor, which in turn controls the movement of the tractor. The remote control can be operated from a distance, allowing the operator to remain in a safe location while the tractor performs its tasks.
Remote-controlled tractors can provide several benefits in agricultural settings. They can be more efficient than traditional tractors because they can work continuously without breaks, and they can also operate in challenging terrain or hazardous conditions where it may be unsafe for a human operator. Additionally, they can be more precise in their movements, leading to more accurate results in planting and harvesting.
Remote-controlled tractors are an innovative and useful tool for farmers and agricultural workers, providing increased safety, efficiency, and accuracy in their work.
