Navigation and control of an autonomous weeder

The ultimate objective we wish to achieve with the Intelligent Autonomous Weeder project is to replace hand weeding by a weeding robot autonomous at field level. The navigation and control makes use of GPS, compass and machine vision. Field tests are done to prove that the navigation and control is working in practice.

This project will be fitted in the ongoing research to achieve the objective of "weeding a field autonomously".

Preferable knowledge of
