Abstract
The problem of control and, foremost, navigation of mobile agricultural robots designed to work in open fields is associated with changing weather conditions, dynamically changing environment, unexpected emerging obstacles, changes in the nature of the terrain and diverse vegetation. The situation is somewhat simpler with the control of agricultural robots in greenhouses, where the environment is more structured and predictable. To ensure reliable safe navigation, it is necessary to solve the problems of probing the environment, building a map of the working area, localizing the robot on this map, planning a path and avoiding obstacles. The topics of this article are limited to the issues of navigation of ground robots working in the field and in greenhouses, which main functions are tillage, planting, growing and harvesting.
Key words
Agricultural robot, map-based localization, autonomous localization, autonomous navigation, SLAM, greenhouse.
