Abstract
In order to improve the labor environment of dangerous agriculture work or to correspond to reduction of worker by population ageing of the farmer, it is necessary to perform technical development which eases the burden of agricultural work. The weeding work is one of the agricultural work of high load in such a background. Therefore, authors developed Brush-cutting robot which can move off-road using articulated steering mechanism for weeding work by published paper. This paper proposes a method of the self-localization in outdoor using Laser Range Finder, GPS, odometry, environment map and this robot, and show autonomous driving in grassland using lateral guid method "Sensor Steering Mechanism" which is established for the articulated vehicle that was proposed by the authors.
