1. Research on Straight-Line Path Tracking Control Methods in an Agricultural Vehicle Navigation SystemIn the precision agriculture (PA), an agricultural vehicle navigation system is essential and precision of the vehicle path tracking is of great importance in such a system. As straight line operation is the main way of agricultural vehicles on large fields, this paper focuses on the discussion of straight-line path tracking control methods and proposes an agricultural vehicle path tracking algorithm based on the optimal control theory. First, the paper deduces a relative kinematics model of agricultural... T. Li, J. Hu, L. Gao, H. Hu, X. Bai, X. Liu |
2. Angular Velocity Meter Application Study In The Agricultural Vehicle Navigation SystemIn the agricultural vehicle navigation system, most frequently used steering feedback sensors are rotary potentiometer and rotary encoder to measure the wheel angle, and linear potentiometer to measure the stretching length of steering cylinder. In practice, these sensors are usually installed a little troublesomely, and often have relatively low reliability because of the more installation fittings. With the progress of MEMS technical, angular velocity meter achieves higher accuracy while... J. Hu, L. Gao |
3. Development of a Sensing Device for Detecting Defoliation in SoybeanEstimating defoliation by insects in an agricultural field, specifically soybean, is performed by manually removing multiple leaf samples, visually inspecting the leaves for feeding, and assigning a value representing a “best guess” at the level of leaf material missing. These estimates can require considerable time and are subjective. The goal of this study was to design a low-cost system containing light sensors and a microcontroller that could remotely record and report long-term... P. Astillo, J. Maja, J. Greene |
