Planetary rovers are increasingly challenged to negotiate extreme terrain. Early destinations have been benign to preclude risk, but canyons, funnels, and newly discovered holes present steep slopes that defy tractive descent. Steep craters and holes with unconsolidated material pose a particularly treacherous danger to modern rovers. This research explores robotic braking by plowing, a novel m...

This research was aimed to identify the main factors that influence performance rate of plow-type trenchless machine and mathematically correlate these variables predict rate. The mathematical analysis ended with an equation correlating affecting it. derived relationship checked in various operational circumstances. rate's practical experiments revealed only for 0.92 0.76 m disturbed soil depth...

The article presents research results of a machine-tractor unit that performs two technological operations simultaneously: (i) chopping plant residues (sunflower stubble); (ii) covering the chopped stubble with soil. first operation is carried out front-mounted chopper, and second one rear-mounted plough. chopper’s working devices are rotated by tractor’s front power take-off (PTO), which has o...

In this paper, a denoising approach, which exploits patchredundancy for removing Gaussian noise from RGB color images is described. Both geometrical and photometrical similarity of image patches have to be considered for learning the parameters of this Patch-based Locally Optimal Weiner(PLOW) filer. K-means clustering,with LARK(Locally Adaptive Regression Kernel) features, is used to identify t...

To study Assessing the impact of tillage practices on soil carbon losses dependents it is necessary to describe the temporal variability of soil CO2 emission after tillage. It has been argued that large amounts of CO2 emitted after tillage may serve as an indicator for longer-term changes in soil carbon stocks. Here we present a two-step function model based on soil temperature and soil moistur...

Few experiments in the coastal plain region of the southeastern United States have reported the effect of long-term tillage and tillage intensity on chemical soil quality indicators. The purpose of this study was to determine the 17-year influence of four tillage systems on chemical soil quality indicators in a Benndale fine sandy loam (coarse-loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic, Typic Paleud...

Existing plows do not provide high-quality tillage between rows of orchards and vineyards. The purpose the study is to develop justify parameters plow for cultivating soil gardens tractors class 0.9 kN. A design scheme a single-body smooth, rowless plowing garden aisles has been developed. proposed consists movable fixed frame, disc knife, screw body with hostage. research uses laws agricultura...
