Field Robot2013 - 2014 Project to Develop a Fully Autonomous Vehicle for a Field Environment
Initial plan • Automation • Utilize 3D imaging with twin cameras • Plant detection • Enhanced Navigation • Mechanical • Design a new wheel module • Smaller turning circle • Independent turning actuation in each wheel • Independent power output for each wheel • Higher modularity • Agri-technology • Flamethrower to eradicate weeds • Communication with separate self-attaching trailer module
Current status • Algorithm development and Robot construction • A-algorithms for row positioning, navigation and headland driving are working and under testing / tuning • Simulator has several features ready, can be used for testing • Programs and drivers are mostly completed • In March 2014 • B-algorithms to be developed • Algorithms are running in onboard computers • CAN messages need to be defined • In April/May • Testing with the actual robot should be under way
