Rice Planting Robot Awarded "The Robot Award 2008" Grand Prize : DigInfo

The "Rice Planting Robot" now being developed by the National Agricultural Research Center (NARC) of the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) was chosen as the recipient of "The Robot Award 2008", the grand prize for outstanding performance.

The sensors, computer and motor for driving operations are connected with the CAN bus communication standard, and in the future, a consolidated communication protocol will be used to share equipment such as sensors and control equipment with other agricultural robots including tilling and harvesting robots and thereby reduce equipment costs.
