Electromechanical Variator

According to experts, in the near future, robotics is expected to transform farming entirely. In the world with the population of over 7 billion and increasing, farmers are under pressure to feed more people. Furthermore, the demand for healthier food has also grown and today's farmers are being pushed to make farming greener by using less pesticide. The problem is obvious and agriculture robotics must become an integral part of farming. As a hobbyist, I am fascinated by this particular industry (robotics), but I have noticed that torque and power parameters required for standard agricultural applications might be a real issue. Perhaps more than any other factor, the capacity of batteries has limited the infiltration of robotics into daily life. As computer processing and sensors have become cheaper and more powerful, batteries, woefully inefficient and slow to recharge, have slogged behind. Consequently, designing a more powerful robotic platform inevitably results in the exponentially increased overall price and weight of a product. While electric motors and batteries are great for small robots, many agricultural applications still await for improvements in battery technology. Contrary to the popular opinion and might seem like a step back, I believe that an IC engine has a potential to contribute towards agriculture robotics becoming a common phenomenon in farms. These engines are cheap considering their quality and widely available in the market. ICE technology is well-developed and has become efficient enough to make us careful about announcing its demise. Even from an ecological perspective, exhaust gas emitted from agricultural robots would be completely insignificant compared to car emissions. Moreover, battery disposal should be considered a bigger threat since accumulators contain hazardous substances. During my research, I have come across some of the products available on the market today that represent different ways of overcoming the battery problem by
