Abstract
This paper discussed about the design, development and test of a quadrotor drone in the rice seed sowing process of the wet seeded rice farming. A seed sowing mechanism was designed to be attached to a quadrotor which allows the process of rice seed sowing to be more precise and uniformly distributed. The rice seed in this experiment is planted inside a capsule filled with peat moss to prevent seedling damage as well as to provide more effective seed sowing. The seed sowing mechanism is designed based on a spiral spinner which can provide sufficient amount of release force that can overcome any disturbances and can propel the seed toward the desired target position. ฉ 2019 Institute of Control, Robotics and Systems - ICROS.
