• Abstract: Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are emerging as a crucial tool in the world of precision agriculture. The combination of UGVs with machine learning allows us to find solutions for a range of complex agricultural problems. This research focuses on developing a UGV capable of autonomously traversing agricultural fields and capturing data. The project, known as AGRO (Autonomous Ground Rover Observer) leverages machine learning, computer vision and other sensor technologies. AGRO uses its capabilities to determine pistachio yields, performing self-localization and real-time environmental mapping while avoiding obstacles. The main objective of this research work is to automate resource-consuming operations so that AGRO can support farmers in making data-driven decisions. Furthermore, AGRO provides a foundation for advanced machine learning techniques as it captures the world around it.
