Abstract. The proposed agrotechnical automated self-propelled platform (AASP) is designed to perform a complex of agrotechnical methods for cultivating crops in an automated mode with access to a single plant, the location of which is fixed in computer memory using a local radio-orientation system and rigid supports, a working ground equipped with. Movement on rigid supports ensures the platform’s passability regardless of the soil moisture and significantly reduces the energy costs associated with moving the unit across the field, and also determines the accuracy of the programmed activities in the optimal agrotechnical time, with a significant reduction in the destruction of the soil structure and improving the ecological character of farming. The AASP, which is a metal structure of the profiles of the U-type rectangular section, moves along rigid supports made in the form of crushed stone cushion and concrete blocks. It serves as the basis for the installation of replacement technological units and movers, providing step-by-step movement of the AAS-platform by hydraulic cylinders with the help of retractable rail beams along and across the polygon, while the technological module with a set of operating elements moves along the platform guides, performing a set of operations specified by a computer program. The estimated daily productivity of the AASP can be about 100 hectares. Taking into account agrotechnical terms, one platform can provide the whole complex of field works on an area of at least 5000 hectares. The AASP is able to largely solve the problems of precise farming. It becomes particularly relevant in the agricultural production of the Far East, characterized by an extremely unstable hydrological regime of soils due to the monsoon climate, as well as an acute shortage of labor resources.
