- Abstract: This project aims to develop and demonstrate a ground robot with intelligence
capable of conducting semi-autonomous farm operations for different low-heights
vegetable crops referred as Agriculture Application Robot(AAR). AAR is a
lightweight, solar-electric powered robot that uses intelligent perception for
conducting detection and classification of plants and their characteristics.
The system also has a robotic arm for the autonomous weed cutting process. The
robot can deliver fertilizer spraying, insecticide, herbicide, and other fluids
to the targets such as crops, weeds, and other pests. Besides, it provides
information for future research into higher-level tasks such as yield
estimation, crop, and soil health monitoring. We present the design of robot
and the associated experiments which show the promising results in real world
environments.
