Perception of Automated Guided Vehicles for Agricultural Purposes.

      Аннотация: With the current challenges of rising population and scarcity of natural resources, the need for new technologies has become more important to increase efficiency in the agriculture industry. Robotic technology alone, serve quite well for the different problems in the field of agriculture. As of the present, automatic systems and robots are used for irrigation systems and targeting to decrease the manpower defects as well as save on energy and time. Sprinkle irrigation importance lies in that it provides irrigation for the crops by imitating an actual rain fall and it contributes in reducing water consumption because water is distributed more evenly across the farm to avoid depletion. Since, in sprinkler irrigation traditional method, irrigation sprinkle nuzzles should be placed in all the farm land or after each period of irrigation the position of the sprinklers must be replaced by manpower, this struggle makes the method inefficient from energy, cost and time points of view. The present work is a perception of unsupervised navigation for AGV for agricultural purposes.
