1. Precision Design Of Vegetative BuffersPrecision agriculture techniques can be applied at field margins to improve performance of water quality protection practices. Effectiveness of vegetative buffers, conventionally designed to have uniform width along field margins, is limited by spatially non-uniform runoff from fields. Effectiveness can be improved by placing relatively wider buffer at locations where loads are greater. A GIS tool was developed that accounts for non-uniform flow and produces more-effective, variable-width,... T. Mueller, S. Neelakantan, M. Helmers, M. Dosskey |
2. Steering Strategy Selection of a Robotic Platform for Bin Management in Orchard EnvironmentFor a robotic bin-managing system working in an orchard environment, especially in modern narrow row spaced orchards in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region of the U.S., path planning is an essential function to achieve highly efficient bin management. Unlike path planning for a car-like vehicle in an open field, path planning for a four-wheel-independent-steered (4WIS) robotic bin-managing platform in orchard environment is much more challenging due to the very confined working space between tree...
