Parametric synthesis of a mobile robot for servicing park trees

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of creating mobile robots for servicing park and forest woodlands. An analysis of modern designs of robotic devices for tree trimming and a description of a fundamentally new design of a mobile robot of arbitrary orientation on tree trunks are given. The article describes a completely new design of a mobile robot for pruning bacterial damage to trees. Application of the proposed mobile robot allows maintenance of trees regardless of their topology and breed. An improved methodology for the parametric synthesis of the technical parameters of the robot is described. The difference in the proposed methodology for optimizing the design and technological parameters of a mobile robot is that the robot is presented in the form of a multi-level technical system in which target functions and independent factors are interconnected at different levels of the hierarchical system.
