Abstract
After harvesting the fruits, farmers place it in bucketbasket. Once bucketbasket is filled, the farmers take it to safe place and then store it up to next process. After harvesting, the farmers weigh the harvested fruit. All this process is labor consuming and time consuming. To reduce the manual efforts, the agriculture load carrier vehicle is design and developed. In the design process, the chassis was designed considering the load, its forces, and moments. The static structural analysis was carried out in ANSYS Workbench. The Arduino program is developed for the desired task and tested. The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the farmers motion and it will input to the Arduino. The Arduino program will signal it to the motor to run for the desired distance. High torque motors are used as vehicle driver motors, and weight sensors will display the buckets real-time weight on the display. The vehicle is developed and tested for 15kg. The developed load carrier vehicle can follow the man and showing instantaneous weight of added fruit with carrying weight of 15kg.
