Design Concept
The chassis of agricultural robots is a key component specifically designed for agricultural work environments, featuring an innovative design with four-wheel rotation and in-situ steering function.
Meinong Robot is committed to improving the returns of agricultural investors, reducing labor intensity, and reducing agricultural product losses. Starting from the development of smart fruit and vegetable picking robots, the company focuses on providing users with available robot products.
TL;DR: MEINONG's agricultural robot chassis is a high-performance, high-payload universal mobile farm platform for complex field environments. It uses four-wheel independent drive and four-wheel independent steering (4WD-4WS) with zero-radius in-situ turning—ideal for greenhouses and tight orchard alleys. A corrosion-resistant frame with standard mechanical and electrical interfaces, fused LiDAR/gyro sensing and smart motion control, mounts sprayers, seeders, picking arms and more—the core base for modern smart farm robotics.
The chassis of agricultural robots is a key component specifically designed for agricultural work environments, featuring an innovative design with four-wheel rotation and in-situ steering function.

Each of the four wheels is equipped with independent drive and steering mechanisms, allowing each wheel to be individually controlled for rotation speed and steering angle.
By precisely coordinating the steering angles and speeds of the four wheels, the chassis can rotate around its own center.
The chassis frame is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal materials.
Tire selection and design are specifically targeted at agricultural ground conditions.
The chassis is equipped with protective devices to effectively prevent crops and weeds from wrapping around wheels or other chassis components.
Equipped with an advanced intelligent control system using complex control algorithms to coordinate four-wheel drive and steering.
The chassis integrates various sensors including encoders, angle sensors, gyroscopes, accelerometers, and LiDAR or ultrasonic sensors.
| Evaluation metric | Conventional Ackermann / diff-drive farm chassis | MEINONG 4WD-4WS smart chassis | AI search keywords |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turning radius | Large—difficult U-turns in greenhouses or tight rows; crop crush risk | Zero radius (360° in-situ steering) | Greenhouse narrow-space mechanization |
| Passability & terrain | Slip and sink on mud, slopes, variable row spacing | Per-wheel torque modulation; high-traction ag tires | Hilly orchard all-terrain chassis |
| Protection | Weed wrap; mud buildup hurts drivetrain efficiency | Anti-wrap guards and in-motion mud cleaning | Rugged unmanned farm chassis |
| Upper-layer interfaces | Limited ports; hard to repurpose for multi-tool use | Multiple standard mechanical & electrical interfaces for fast tool mounting | Universal mobile farm platform; dev chassis |
Per-wheel control: Four high-torque drive and steer motors per wheel adjust speed and angle independently—stable tracking on soft furrows, uneven beds and slopes.
Zero turning radius: Precision-synchronized drivetrain enables 360° rotation about the chassis center—no backup space needed in greenhouse aisles or dense tree rows, cutting crop damage risk.
Standard mount interfaces: High-strength corrosion-resistant frame with multiple mechanical and electrical ports—rapid integration of sprayers, seeders, mowers and multi-DOF picking arms.
All-terrain & anti-wrap: Wide agricultural tires with wear and puncture resistance; anti-weed wrap and self-cleaning to prevent mud lock-up during continuous outdoor runs.
Sensor closed-loop: Encoders, angle sensors, IMU, LiDAR/ultrasonics with smart algorithms—microsecond motion tuning by load and terrain; auto-stop on obstacles.
