1. Field Robot 2013 - 2014 Project to Develop a Fully Autonomous Vehicle for a Field Environment

2. Initial plan Automation Utilize 3D imaging with twin cameras Plant detection Enhanced Navigation Mechanical Design a new wheel module Smaller turning circle Independent turning actuation in each wheel Independent power output for each wheel Higher modularity Agri-technology Flamethrower to eradicate weeds Communication with separate self-attaching trailer module

3. Current status Learning phase coming to an end AS has become acquainted with Visual Studio, Windows CE and Matlab Kinematic model has been prepared Simulator will be done by Christmas In January 2014 Algorithms for positioning and navigation tested in simulator Wheel modules will be built, chassis design started Flamethrower arm ready for mounting, trailer design started In February / March Mechanical design for all components ready

4. Progress in Images CAD – design of the new wheel module. Casing design allows for turning up to 60 degrees. CAD – design of the flamethrower swinging arm. Final design will be able to swing left and right, lengthwise movement implemented through co- operation with the main robot using the ISOBUS standard.
