Abstract: ABSTRACT: The new technologies play a more and more important role in improving the productivity over the agriculture industry. In this way, the irrigation machines as well as technologies have significant roles. Nowadays, intelligent systems and Robots are employed supplementary on irrigation systems, aiming to decrease the manpower defects as well as save on energy and time. In this thesis, the conventional irrigation methods are reviewed briefly. The sprinkler irrigation classic method (moving sprinkler) is considered in detail and some of the shortcomings of this method are highlighted. Since, in sprinkler irrigation classic method after each period of irrigation the position of the sprinklers have to be replaced by manpower, this difficulty makes the method impractical from time, cost and energy points of view. The purpose of this thesis is to application and development a new automatic guide vehicle (AGV) with the capability to change sprinklers timely and on appropriate positions for sprinkler irrigation classic method. The designed AGV is simulated on computer environment and the results show acceptable outcomes. Keywords: Irrigation; Robot; Agriculture. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Yeni teknolojilerin gelişmesi tarım endüstrisinin verimliliğinin gelişmesinde de çok önemli rol oynamaktadır. Özellikle sulama makinaları tarım ensdüstrisinde önemli bir role sahiptir. Günümüzde robot ve akıllı sistemler insan gücü kusurlarını azaltarak enerji ve zaman tasarrufu sağlamayı amaçlar. Bu tez çalışmasında geleneksel sulama yöntemlerine kısaca değinilmiştir, yağmurlama sulama klasik yöntemine (hareketli yağmurlama) ayrıntılı olarak yer verilerek yöntemin eksikleri vurgulanmıştır. Yağmurlama sulama klasik yönteminden beri her sulama pozisyonu değişiminde insangücü kullanılmak zorundaydı. Zaman, maliyet ve enerji açısından zorluk oluşturmaktadır. Bu tezin amacı, yağmurlama sulama klasik yöntemindeki sulama pozisyonlarını zamanında değişimini sağlayan telerehber sulama aracını (AGV) araştırmaktadır ve dizayn edilen AGV bilgisayarda kurgulanmış, sonuçlar kabul edilebilir sonuçlar içermektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sulama, Robot, Tarım.
