Resumo
Currently, one of the biggest challenges of agriculture and engineering is to improve agricultural productivity, A possible solution is the creation of soil databases or maps to apply precision agriculture techniques, with the aim to produce more in the same space using less agricultural supplies. This practice can be developed with help of robots type roversappliedto: agriculturaldatacollect,mapping,scoutingandsuppliesapplication;howevertheroverneedstomove and adapt to terrain to obtain a real appropriate map of soil, and the correct application of supplies, in this context, this work presents the simulation of two types of rovers, applied to precision agriculture. The models were developed in the software SolidWorks based on the Curiosity and Exo Mars Rovers, developed by NASA and ESA, respectively. The paper presents the comparison, between the Curiosity and Exo Mars models, and its ability to real terrain adaptation using the parameters of torque, energy consumption and lateral deviation
