Agibot: An Open-Source Modular Swerve-Drive Robot Platform for Agricultural Robotics Research and Education

Agibot: An Open-Source Modular Swerve-Drive Robot Platform for Agricultural Robotics Research and Education

Summary

This paper introduces Agibot, an open-source, modular, low-cost agricultural robotics platform designed for autonomy research and education. The system integrates four-wheel independent swerve drive, swappable computing, distributed embedded control, multimodal sensing, and configurable manipulation within a unified sense-plan-act-verify framework. It was evaluated on representative row-crop navigation and manipulation tasks under varying lighting and soil conditions, demonstrating reliable lane following, autonomous row-to-row navigation, target identification, seed dispensing, plant manipulation, and closed-loop verification of task success. The modular architecture supports independent testing and rapid prototyping, while its accessible design facilitates hands-on robotics education.

Editorial context

The paper presents Agibot, an open-source modular robot platform featuring swerve-drive architecture and distributed embedded control, evaluated on row-crop navigation and manipulation tasks under varying environmental conditions.
