1. Development of an Autonomous Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance Robot for Poultry Sheds

Traditional poultry sheds in Taiwan are mostly open-structured, resulting in low efficiency for manual inspection and egg collection, and increased risks of labor fatigue and injuries. This study develops an autonomous obstacle avoidance system for unmanned agricultural vehicles tailored to poultry shed environments, focusing on dynamic path planning and obstacle evasion for safe, efficient navigation.A tracked vehicle chassis enhances stability and adaptability on soft litter floors and narrow...
