Rice transplanter machine is a mechanized device that helps in freeing up the hands of farmers who usually have to manually transplant seedlings onto paddy fields. This machine is especially useful for large areas of land and can save much time and labor compared to manual planting. This is why this machine is very popular among farmers.

Before using the rice planter, it is a good idea to do a comprehensive inspection. This includes checking all of the parts, and making sure they are in working order. Then, if necessary, the user should oil the rotating parts of the planter machine. After a few hours of use, the machine should be scrubbed and cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt from the machinery. Then, it should be oiled again.

There are several kinds of machines that can transplant bare root rice seedlings, but the most common is a walk-behind transplanter. These are usually powered by a petrol or diesel engine and can be pushed along the field by a worker. Most of these are equipped with a seedling tray and forks to pick up the seedlings from a mat type nursery and insert them into the soil.

Kubota has been pursuing the development of rice-transplanters that operate automatically without a driver for some time. Our goal is to advance rice planting technology so that anyone can plant beautifully, just like an expert farmer. The key to this is the Agri Robo rice-transplanter’s “expert full-field planting” function, which plants a field evenly from one end to the other.

The Agri Robo rice-transplanter first captures the shape of a cultivated field by mapping it with GPS data and then analyzing it to design a perimeter route for planting. Using this feature, the Agri Robo rice-transplanter can prevent unnecessary detours and avoid obstacles such as paddy sluices when planting around their outer edges. It can also avoid overlapping when planting near the inner edges of the cultivated field.

To ensure beautiful planting, the Agri Robo rice-transplanter analyzes the location of each individual seedling in the cultivated field and then places them in their proper positions according to the agronomic conditions for that particular plant. The Agri Robo rice-transplanter then applies the planting sequence calculated by this system to plant the cultivated field.

The Agri Robo rice-transplanter is designed to operate safely in any cultivated field. To achieve this, the Agri Robo rice-transplanter uses the Agri Robo’s control technologies to determine whether it is safe to move forward and backward while driving automatically. In addition, the Agri Robo rice-transplanter has sensors to detect and prevent unsafe movement. Finally, it can adjust the position of each wheel to maintain an appropriate ride height and to prevent it from damaging the cultivated fields or its parts. These functions make the Agri Robo rice-transplanter safer to drive and easier for a farmer to operate. This is a significant step in our goal of developing a rice-transplanter that can operate automatically without a driver and achieve beautiful planting.
