Abstract

This research project will be developed in Distributed Autonomous Systems Laboratory (DASLab) at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as part of a partnershipbetween Mobile Robotics Laboratory (LabRoM) and DASLab. The main goal of this research is to evaluate algorithms for perception in agricultural fields. In particular,Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)-based navigation system will be developed and implemented to provide environmental information and generate suitable actions for a ground mobile robot's locomotion system in a corn field. All algorithms will be written in C++ and implemented on Robot Operating System (ROS) framework. It is expectedto obtain significant progress in hElvis' LiDAR-based navigation system, currently under development in LabRoM, through using it on differents robotic platforms and implementing improved algorithms. Moreover, this system will be compared with machine vision system developed by DASLab. (AU)
