Abstract: In response to the problem that the current planting process has not been fully automated, a solar-powered planting robot that integrates irrigation, fertilization, seeding, weeding, environmental data collection, as well as remote operation was designed and developed. The kinematic study of the Delta parallel robot is the core of the integrated hardware design, and a cloud control system is developed by integrating cloud IoT technology. The user can realize the basic control of the planting robot, such as video remote control, and data collection of temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration, etc. Through smart devices such as computers and cell phones. Moreover, the planting machine has good comprehensive practicality and can meet the needs of a variety of plant environments. The popularization and application of this robot are important for reducing the labor intensity of producers and improving the efficiency of seeding and planting. Therefore, this robot is suitable for comprehensive practical planting and has broad application prospects as well as market promotion value.
