Abstract :
In order to save time of digging hole when trees are planted, a robot that has six degrees of freedom is developed. In this paper the structure and function of a forestation hole digging robot is introduced and analyzed. At the same time, by the experiment it can be proved that the efficiency of the robot is very high and the ground surface destroyed by the robot is very small. The maximum diameter of the digging hole is 0.55m, a seedling tree can be planted in the hole. Furthermore, it is also very useful to eradicate stumps in forest area.
