Martin Turk (2018) Navigation of field robot. EngD thesis.
Abstract
Advanced robot systems have already substituted the human factor in many fields of work and we can only imagine what the future will bring. In order for a robot to be intelligent, to perform better at executing tasks than human, they need to be autonomous. We developed a robot for Field Robot Event competition, where it needs to be able to autonomously navigate through a corn field. In this thesis, we developed a robot application which is respon- sible for autonomous navigation with LIDAR sensor and proposed how to improve the navigation with camera recognition. The data collected with LIDAR usually contains a lot of noise, which we reduce with DBSCAN clus- tering algorithm. In conclusion, we present the results from the competition, DBSCAN algorithm, and camera recognition. We also propose a few im- provements and future plans.
