G151036 Development of Turning Algorithm for Autonomous Weeding Robot

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a turning algorithm for a weeding robot in a rice paddy field.The capacitive touch sensor is used to detect the rice plant line.The weeding robot that we use in this study can autonomously move along the rice plant line.In this paper,we proposed the turning algorithm,using both the capacitive touch sensor and the azimuth sensor for the weeding robot.In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed turning algorithm,we carried out experiments in a sandbox.The effectiveness of the turning algorithm is verified by the experiments.
