D2.1: Electrical and Mechanical Design for Air Blast-Sprayer

The present deliverable is part of WP2 - Task T2.1 "Modular air-blast based sprayer with VRT", which intends to upgrade the air-blast TEYME sprayer to make a modular air-blastbased sprayer with basic VRT functionalities and considering SCORPION and AGROBV20 constraints and requirements (defined in D1.4). This will get the AirBlast-Sprayer. This upgrade will mainly reduce the sprayer size, make it controllable by ISOBUS, flexible to accept independent nozzles controls and add features to better control the airflow. In order to accept novel and ecological vineyards treatments, this sprayer will have a hybrid configuration with different nozzles types individually controllable. A level sensor will be added for water levels monitoring.Starting from the main technical requirements and specifications provided in D1.4 "SCORPION Robot Hardware and Software Architecture Definition", the scope of the present deliverable is to define the specifications of the robot physical structure and software architecture, considering the scenarios in which the robot is expected to operate. All the evaluations and choices are made in accordance with the project objectives, as well as compliance to international safety standards, to provide the ultimate step towards the design of the first version of the SCORPION robot.
