The advancement of agricultural technologies has seen significant strides with the development of robotic platforms designed to modernize farming practices, address labor shortages, and enhance overall efficiency. Among the primary challenges faced in agricultural robotics are the requirements for high traction and low soil compaction. High traction is essential for maintaining stability and operational efficiency in various field conditions, while low soil compaction is crucial for preserving soil health, promoting root growth, and ensuring sustainable crop yields. This paper details the comprehensive design and development process of an agricultural robotic platform that successfully addresses these challenges.
