1. Performance of Autonomous Navigation in an Agricultural Tractor Using Pure Pursuit Control and Dubins Path Planning

Autopilot systems in agricultural machinery are primarily designed to ensure accurate tracking of predefined routes. However, their performance is strongly influenced by the internal parameters of the control algorithms employed, which may vary according to operational conditions. In this context, computational simulations constitute a valuable tool for investigating these interactions and identifying optimal operating configurations. This study evaluates an autopilot system based on the Pure... J.D. Baltazar, A.L. Coelho, L. De Arruda Viana, A.D. Brandão, D.S. Valente, M.R. Furtado Jr
