Studies on the Control Systems of Agricultural Autonomous Vehicles (Part 3)

Experiments of Locomotion in Green House by a Control System for Traveling

Abstract

This paper describes the control system of an agricultural vehicle for autonomous traveling without utilizing special traveling targets. To travel autonomously in a green house widely, it is necessary to get such important information like the direction for steering from visual information about the size of the house, the shape of traveling road and etc. while the vehicle is traveling. The traveling control system has four hierarchies and thus the vehicle travels autonomously with processing visual information hierarchically. The traveling control system had tested out in the green house.
