Description of irregular terrain is given. A possibility to evaluate terrain irregularity by feet coordinate standard deviation is proposed. When deviation is σ = 0, all robots are in one plane. Bigger σ the more robot legs are scattered, meaning robot is walking in irregular terrain. A method to evaluate robot horizontality according to terrain by position of three planes is introduced.

In the new construction, the robot is given the ability to rise or lower its chassis. No complicated additional hardware is required as the level of the chassis can be changed by means of torque differences on the wheels.

Double-screw vehicles have been developed to operate in soft, wet terrains such as marsh, snow, and water. Their exceptional performance in soft and wet terrains is at the expense of performance on rigid terrains such as pavement. Furthermore, turning can be difficult because the method of turning varies depending on the terrain. Therefore, in this study, several different quad-screw-configurations were proposed and tested to improve upon double-screw vehicles. A test-bed was developed which could easily be converted into each quad-screw-configuration for testing on a variety of surfaces (gras

Abstract:
In the era of fourth industrial revolution, automation is a growing trend in almost every industry. The innovation in agriculture equipment is one of the major phase for civilized life, and the development of agricultural tools is a fundamental need towards the improvement of agriculture. Farmers use the same traditional methods and equipment for all ages, for example: seeds, spraying, weeding, etc., which have problems such as slow growth rate, irrigation, fertilization, crop monitoring of large areas. An autonomous, low-maintenance and portable robot can serve this purpose more accurately and efficiently with much better performance output. This article introduces the proposed model and design of a solar powered 4-wheel drive robot which works to plant seeds while cultivating the soil in a multi terrain surface. The robot avoids human effort ranging from the field path following to uniformly sowing of seeds at equal distance intervals using field area constraints prescribed by the farmer. This article presents the step by steps designing a robot and the parameters to be considered before creating a prototype. This robot increases the efficiency of seeding by exact measurement and distance, flattening of a surface, spraying of initial water, and also reduces random spreading of seeds problems.

Abstract:
In reality, there can be no generic definition of an “ideal soil” because a soil’s performance is influenced by the local climate, landscape characteristics, grape variety, and cultural practices and is judged in the context of a winegrower’s objectives for style of wine to be made, market potential, and profitability of the enterprise. This realization essentially acknowledges the long-established French concept of terroir: that the distinctiveness or typicity of wines produced in individual locations depends on a complex interaction of biophysical and human cultural factors, interpreted by many as meaning a wine’s sense of place. As discussed in “Soil Variability and the Concept of Terroir” in chapter 1, because of this interaction of factors that determine a particular terroir, it is not surprising that no specific relationships between one or more soil properties and wine typicity have been unequivocally demonstrated. While acknowledging this conclusion, it is still worthwhile to examine how variations in several single or combined soil properties can influence vine performance and fruit character. These properties are: • Soil depth • Soil structure and water supply • Soil strength • Soil chemistry and nutrient supply • Soil organisms Provided there are no subsoil constraints, the natural tendency of long-lived Vitis vinifera, on own roots or rootstocks, to root deeply and extensively gives it access to a potentially large store of water and nutrients. In sandy and gravely soils that are naturally low in nutrients, such as in the Médoc region of France, the Margaret River region in Western Australia, and the Wairau River plain, Marlborough region, New Zealand, the deeper the soil the better. A similar situation pertains on the deep sandy soils on granite in the Cauquenas region, Chile. However, such depth may be a disadvantage where soils are naturally fertile and rain is plentiful, as in parts of the Mornington Peninsula, King and Yarra Valley regions, Victoria, Australia, and the Willamette Valley region in Oregon (see figure 1.11, chapter 1), because vine growth is too vigorous and not in balance.

Abstract:
This essay deals with an issue that has never before been the focus of attention in the field of research on the history of chemistry in Italy: the diffusion of Mendeleev’s periodic system in our nation. In the following text we will analyze the situation in the period preceding the arrival of Mendeleev’s theory in Italy with regard to the matter of classifying elements. By doing so, it will be possible to demonstrate that—despite the superficiality and lack of accuracy of certain studies—Italian chemistry was already very willing to consider new proposals relating to the classification of elements. We will then attempt to illustrate how Mendeleev’s work not only attracted the attention of the most renowned Italian chemists, such as Augusto Piccini and Giacomo Ciamician, but also became widely used in university texts and secondary school textbooks. In order to understand the classification criteria for elements adopted by Italian chemists before Mendeleev and therefore the cultural terrain the law of periodicity was to take root in, it would be better to refer to a number of texts used widely for teaching in universities. We will examine four of these, published between 1819 and 1867. In all these texts, the term “simple bodies” appears, with the expression “simple substances” used less frequently, while Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743–94), in his 1789 Traité élémentaire de chimie (Traité thereafter), uses the same term “simple substances” or “simple substances … which may be considered as the elements of bodies.” It is interesting to note that Vincenzo Dandolo’s Italian translation (first edition 1792) uses the expression “sostanze semplici,” interpreting quite literally the Frenchman’s choice of term. Thirty years after publication of the Traité, Antonio Santagata (1774–1858), professor of general chemistry at the Pontificia Università di Bologna, published his Lezioni di chimica elementare [Lessons in elementary chemistry], derived from Lezioni di chimica elementare: applicata alla medicina e alle arti [Lessons in Elementary Chemistry: Applied to Medicine and the Arts] (Bologna, 1804), written by his predecessor in the university chair, Pellegrino Salvigni (1777–1841).

Abstract:
Most of the terra firme soils in the Amazon are highly weathered, highly leached, have low capacity for retaining nutrients against the continual leaching and weathering of the tropical climate, and are classified as Oxisols and Ultisols, soil types with extremely low fertility (see Cuevas, this volume). The naturally occurring forests of the region maintain a high production of wood and leaves through very efficient recycling of nutrients from decomposing litter to roots in a root-humus layer on top of the mineral soil or near its surface. The decomposing litter is important not only as a source of nutrients, but as a source of organic acids which prevent phosphorus fixation in the iron- and aluminium-rich soils of the Amazon. When forests on Amazonian terra firme soils are cut and burned, and the soils used for agriculture, litter, and humus are rapidly oxidized and destroyed. As a result, the potassium remaining from the original forest is quickly leached, the nitrogen is volatilized, and the phosphorus is immobilized in the mineral soil. This is one of the most important reasons that crop production can be carried out for only a few years under shifting cultivation. It is not just small scale agriculture that is limited by the low fertility of Amazonian soils. In the past, almost all types of development that destroy the nutrient conserving mechanisms of the forest have suffered financially. Two examples are given here to illustrate. In 1967, one of the largest conversions of tropical forest to pulp plantation began near the junction of the Jarí and Amazon rivers, in the state of Pará, Brazil (Time, 1976). The “Jarí” project was initiated and financed by Daniel K. Ludwig, one of the world’s richest men, and owner of numerous international corporations. Ludwig had anticipated a global shortage of wood fiber for pulp, and to meet this shortage, he and his advisors selected a site that they believed had high potential for pulp production (Time 1979, Kinkead 1981). By 1981, the total investment in the 12,000 km2 tract of land was approximately $1 billion (Kinkead 1981). Ludwig’s advisors recommended melina (Gmelina arborea) as the best species to plant.

Abstract:
External perception based on vision plays a critical role in developing improved and robust localization algorithms for mobile robots, as well as in gaining important information about the vehicle and the traversed terrain. This paper presents two novel methods to improve mobility on rough terrains by using visual input. The first method consists of a stereovision algorithm for 6-DoF ego-motion estimation, which integrates image intensity information and 3D stereo data using an Iterative Closest Point (ICP) approach. The second method aims at estimating the wheel sinkage of a mobile robot on d

Abstract:
This paper presents kinematic and dynamic modeling of a wheeled mobile robotic platform for rough terrain operations. In the model, the body of the robot and each wheel set are considered as rigid bodies translating and rotating in space. For robots navigating on the ground, the external forces to the system are all coming from the road-tire interactions. In the kinematic model, it is assumed that the ground can provide whatever forces required to satisfy kinematic constraints at contact points, and in the dynamic model, the dynamic interactions between the tires and the terrain are considered
