Development of a Fully Autonomous Field Vehicle for Agricultural Applications

This project aims to create a fully autonomous vehicle tailored for field environments. Initial plans include advanced automation features utilizing 3D imaging with twin cameras for accurate plant detection and enhanced navigation capabilities. Key design elements feature a new wheel module with independent turning actuation and power output for improved maneuverability. A flamethrower system will be incorporated for weed eradication. Current progress includes successful algorithm development for navigation and row positioning, with testing protocols in place for the robot's operational capabilities.

  1. Field Robot2013 - 2014 Project to Develop a Fully Autonomous Vehicle for a Field Environment

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. Progress in Images
