Abstract :
In this paper, a self-propelled electrostatic sprayer is designed to meet the needs of the agriculture engineering. The machine can automatically detect the target, and then spraying the target directionally, which can minimize the contamination of the drug solution to the environment. In order to make human separate with machine in the course of their work and avoid physical injury in the process of liquid spraying, the walking body, turning body and working body of the machine are controlled by a wireless remote control system. The self-propelled electrostatic sprayer achieves the desired objectives and requirements.
