Tilling agricultural land is one of the important aspects of farming, especially for chili plants, as it can help improve air circulation in the soil, enhance drainage, reduce soil compaction, increase nutrient availability, promote the growth of microorganisms, and maintain the health of chili plants.  Tilling the soil using traditional tools in dryland chili farming still poses a significant risk of work accidents.  On the other hand, the development of soil-tilling machinery mechanization still poses several problems, one of which is air pollution caused by using fuel-powered machines.  The presence of soil-tilling robots in dryland chili pepper farming using Flysky FS-iA6 remote control technology solves both issues.  The robot, which has a 24 V 12 Ah battery capacity, can operate for 15 minutes using a 24 V 350 W electric motor.  The robot with chain wheels can move at a maximum speed of 3.90 m/s with an RPM of 327.40.  The soil tiller used is of the rotary cultivator type.  The maximum remote control range is 100 m.  Camera sensors are used as remote land monitor.
