Abstract

This article presents the conceptual design of the JUARA (Joint Utility Agriculture Remote Automation) tractor research, which was developed to address Indonesia’s agricultural modernisation challenges. The novelty of this research lies in integrating remote automation into a modular tractor design tailored explicitly for smallholder Indonesian farmers. The JUARA tractor features a compact, efficient, multifunctional platform with an electric-powered modular design and integrated remote automation for sustainable farming practices. The systematic engineering design methodology included literature review and conceptual development encompassing mechanical, electrical, and control systems. The modular chassis incorporates an electric drivetrain, replaceable battery packs, and standardised attachment mechanisms compatible with Indonesian agricultural tools. The electrical system integrates efficient motors and sensor networks (GPS, soil moisture, environmental sensors) supported by renewable-ready power management. The control system enables real-time remote operation via mobile interfaces and autonomous task execution. Key advantages include zero emissions, reduced labour demands, precision farming, and affordability through decentralised village-level manufacturing. This conceptual design represents a significant innovation in addressing the challenges of Indonesia’s smallholder agriculture.
