Agriculture is a labor-intensive traditional industry. As times change, more and more people are unwilling to engage in agriculture, resulting in a large shortage of agricultural manpower. Therefore, all parts of the world have begun to promote agricultural automation to solve the problem of serious shortage of manpower. In traditional agriculture, when transplanting vegetable seedlings, farmers need to bend down to dig holes for each vegetable seedling to be planted. This method is not only laborious but also extremely inefficient. In this study, we use a self-developed robotic arm combined with a traditional planter and motor to make an automatic planting machine to the achieve automatic planting of vegetable seedlings by the machine to reduce labor costs. This will further help agricultural automation.
