Autonomous agricultural robot

Published on Jul 6, 2017

This autonomous agricultural robot is designed to to work in a research field at a major university. We built two of them for them and they are quite impressive.

They can be operated with a programmed route, or be controlled via 'point and click'. The latter has the operator choose waypoints on a map, and the robot navigates to it while avoiding obstacles.
