1. Field Robot 2013 - 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
