Résumé

Today, agriculture is one of the lagging industries in terms of automation. A promising solution for this area is introduction of specialized assistant robots that perform agroindustrial tasks both individually and in collaboration. An example of such a robot is an agricultural mobile platform with the function of transporting and maintaining unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that monitor agricultural territories. This paper presents a functional model of interaction between the UAV and the robotic platform, as well as the UAV ground service station. A model of a robotic platform is presented, which, depending on the current task, can be modified by replacing the docking mechanism of the UAV and the platform with a manipulator for collecting fruits with a compartment for their storage.
