Special Sensors for Autonomous Navigation Systems in Crops Investigation System

Abstract

AbstractMobile robots functioning in farmlands have been an important focus for scientists. The fast improvement in communication, sensing and computer technology has given considerable advances to Robot navigation guidance techniques in agriculture. Automatic autonomous robots minimize work expenses, avoid dangerous activities from being carried out by people and give farmers timely and accurate data to help management choices. Appropriate methods for sensing, mapping, localization, trajectory planning, and preventing obstacles are designed through research into robot sensor technologies in agricultural contexts. The Navigation Algorithms must use visual information to determine an acceptable course, execute a selection and navigate appropriately without collisions in its environment. A summary of sensor technology for autonomous prototype vehicles is presented and discussed in this chapter. Navigating sensors, computer methods, and navigation management approaches are the main aspects. Crucial procedures include selecting, coordinating, and combining the appropriate Sensors to provide essential robotics navigational knowledge. For function extraction, processing of data and fusing computationally efficiently are utilized. The steering controllers give the correct steering motion to operate automated vehicles for autonomous navigation. Mobile robots are still an open topic in outside contexts such as in agriculture. To address the challenges posed by the climatic conditions, dynamic surroundings, unforeseen obstructions, terrain variations, and vegetation, it is necessary to provide effective and powerful protective and actuators technologies for mobility farming robotics. In this chapter, we will discuss about special sensor keep monitoring through GPS system requirement of crops and to improve and fine growth of quality seeds.KeywordsAgricultureAutonomousControlLaserLocalizationMappingMobile robotNavigationSensingVision
