Agriculture, the primary sector is the backbone of india. last few decades has witnessed a rapid development in robotic technology. different types of intelligent machines which facilitate various tasks in industry environment are becoming popular. india's contribution in coconut production is third worldwide.conventionally, harvesting of coconuts has always been done manually and any device developed also requires a human labor to accompany it. safety of the worker and the increased labor charges are the primary concerns of the coconut farm owners now. due to the height and lack of branches, it is very difficult to climb on coconut trees. a professional climber with proper training could only be able to climb coconut tree. due to the risk involved nowadays very less people are coming forward to climb on coconut trees, and due to the lack of professional climbers, the existing professionals may charge more from the owners, moreover as the educational background of indian youth is increasing most of the people may hesitate to come into this type of profession. today living in 21st century, still we have only manual coconut harvesting machines in handy. this inturn increases man power, cost of operation and time consumption for production. in order to overcome cons of manual harvesting process and to empower the agriculture in this domain an attempt has been made in designing a prototype of automated coconut harvesting machine. considering this scenario, a device which will help the user to climb a coconut tree easily will be useful for the people who are having coconut farms or even residents. these kinds of devices will encourage more people to come forward into the agricultural sector. this paper focuses on designing an automated tree climbing robot, this device which does not require human labor to accompany the device but only to control it from the ground using a remote control. conventionally, harvesting of coconuts has always been done manually and any device developed also requires a human labor to accompany it. safety of the worker and the increased labor charges are the primary concerns of the coconut farm owners now. the device is a circular with a movable all sides and consists of four wheels. four springs, each attached to the wheel helps in adjusting to the varying diameter of the tree. each wheel is driven by a high torque geared dc motor. four l293d drivers are used to drive the four motors in a bidirectional way. these drivers are fixed on the frame of the device. a rf transmitter/receiver unit is used to provide control signals to the driver. a 12v 3000mah rechargeable battery pack is used. an arm with a rotary blade at its end is fixed to the track which is placed on the rim setup of the device so that arm can rotate on the rim in all direction to harvest the coconuts.
