Insect killing pests

Due to the shape of the ladybug, the self-propelled robot is named Ladybird, which is being welcomed by gardeners for helping destroy insect pests such as white flies and aphids.

Researchers from the University of Sydney (Australia) say the Ladybird is powered by solar energy. When placed in a garden, a field of it will automatically move to map, classify, and detect problems that harm individual crops.

Under the leadership of Professor Sukkarieh, the team said the Ladybird was the pinnacle of the self-propelled robot with advanced sensory technology, advanced materials and a sophisticated but easy-to-operate mechanism. The research team for the Gizmag magazine knows that with the wheeled wheel system, the Ladybird movement is less disruptive to farm land, less drag, more efficient electric motors, and lower power consumption. The navigation device allows each pair of wheels to travel in the same direction or vice versa, detecting and correcting uneven rows or other deviations.

The first activity of the Ladybird was at a onion, beet and sarong farm in Crowa, New South Wales. The test is considered successful because only the first time it is charged it can operate continuously for 3 days by continuing to be powered by solar energy.
