Nitonel material that is commonlyused in today movement technology, don’t pollute the environment, quiet operating, economic, easy controlled has been used as artificial muscle atthe robot. It is aimed to remove the rat that gives harm to crop at the field through designing an amplificatory and a sonant signal 25- 35 KHzamp on this robot.Today, using alloys with shape memory is generalized fastinto many technological areas. Alloys with shape memory isused various fields from temperature sensors at electronic toblood pressure test valves at the medicine, from automotiveradiator fans to robots with multi leg at the robotic [1, 2].When robot movement systems are generally examined, it isseen that hydraulic, pneumatic, electric motor systems that arecalled as traditional robot accelerator mechanisms are the mostcommon systems [3].In recent years, various studies have been achieved aboutworking principles, characteristics and application of nitonolwires at the robotic areas. Nitinol wires are used as artificialmuscle at multi leg and reptile robots [4,5,6].The working block diagram of vole repeller spider robotwith artificial muscle used in this study is shown in Figure 1and 2.Figure 1. Spider robot top viewFigure 2. Block diagram of systemThe Vole has an important place among the pests that areaccepted as general plant pests of culture plants. The vole isharmful for every kind of plant as field plants; wheat, barley,rye, oats, pulses, and industry and oil seeds, fruits vegetablegarden plants, meadow, young forest. They are active at daytime and night time especially at night time. They gives harmto crops through cutting, corroding, eating and polluting theamount at least tenfold section more than their eating section.The agricultural medicine has an important place to preventdisease, crop loss due to harmful and foreign plants. But theagricultural pest control with chemicals should be appliedsensitively, carefully and with minimum medicine lossbecause those medicines has negative effects on human health,environment and natural balance and increasing producingcosts [7].Various methods are used to struggle against to mouse andrat. Chemical methods are commonly used one. Poisonousfeed are mostly used at chemical applications. It has been seenthat many birds died because of eating poisonous wheat thatare used at vole struggle because those wheat are not placeswell in to the holes and left on open area. Also poisoning isseen at the children of families who are deal with agriculturebecause of contact or eaten those rat feed by the children.Ultrasonic rat repeller robot can be used at supplementary ofother methods. It is used at the area which is isolated fromvoles and invasion of vole again this isolated area isprevented. The rats/vole is very sensitive against to voice.Even a simple noise disturbs them. The point to take intoconsideration is to produce the noise which only disturbs thevole not human. The rodent kinds can hear up to 80 kHzfrequencies noises. However human ear can hear only 20Hz-20 Khz frequencies noises. In this study, the circuit on therobot will give 25-40 kHz frequency range so it is though thatthe vole will be dismissed from agriculture field. Also therobot won’t harm to the products at the land because it is lightnot heavy. Seperately spider robot doesn’t harm the crop in thefield because it is so light. Because of not using harmful toxicfor destroying mice and nature, natural balance will beprotected. Nitinol materials, getting widespread in ourcountry, are used in a robotic field.*Corresponding author: ksabanci@selcuk.edu.tr[1] Dilibal S., Sönmez N., Dilibal H., “Ni-Ti ekil Bellekli Alamlarve Teknolojik Kullanm Alanlar”, 3.
