Seyed Mohamad Javidan1*, Davood Mohammadzamani2 1- Department of Biosystems Engineering, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran 2- Department of Biosystems Engineering, Islamic Azad University, Takestan Branch, Takestan, Iran * Coresponding author: Mohamad.javidan@modares.ac.ir Due to the increasing use of automatic machinery in the planting, growing and harvesting sectors, in order to increase efficiency and accuracy and reduce energy consumption in crop operations, precision farming is of particular importance. In this research, with the purpose of automatic plantation of legumes in the field, as well as stack identification in the cultivation rows during planting operations, a solar powered Seed Sowing robot with row detection technology was designed and constructed. The solar powered robot is equipped with barrier detection technology and it has the ability to automatically perform roundabout operations at the end of each cultivating row.
