Autonomous control of agricultural sprayers
Period: 2013 - 2014
Funded by: United Kingdom Government
Coordinated by: L-CAS. University of Lincoln (UK)
Abstract
The objective is the development of an autonomous control of the height of the spraying boom over the canopy of the crop. By using laser sensors, the height of the crop is mapped while the vehicle is moving. The map obtained is used for planning the optimal movement of the booms.
