高精度GNSSを用いた自律移動草刈りロボットの開発

―第三報　QZSSとVisual SLAMカメラによる位置推定と経路追従実験―

We have been working on the realization of an autonomous mowing robot to automate weeding work, which is an essential part of agriculture. The robot developed so far can do mowing work in open environments by localization using high-precision GNSS and performing exhaustive sweeping of the work area. This paper reports on the third robot, which is newly equipped with a Visual SLAM camera, and a path following algorithm is implemented to assume use in environments that are difficult to benefit from GNSS.
