摘要: Service units used in precision agriculture are able to improve processes such as harvesting, sowing, agrochemical application, and manure spreading. This two-part work presents, a path tracking controller based on an algebraic approach for articulated service unit, suitable embedded applications, its implementation hierarchical navigation strategy aid manual harvesting process. The can be scaled several trailers attached the unit. For unit drives within olive grove environment following previously developed trailer is mobile hopper where olives, collected by human labour, deposited. also registers geo-references amount of olives (mass) subsequent creation yield maps. improved time associated with approximately 42–45%. mathematical formulation problem, some real experimental results, map statistical analysis that validated method included.
