The paper presents an efficient approach for the modelling of wire robots kinematic and dynamics considering the effects of structural elasticity. Using the simulation and animation system several potential applications in agriculture have been simulated and analysed. The paper discusses possible robot configurations, system dynamic constraints and limits, as well as reachable performance for typical large-span wire robot applications in agriculture.
This paper, presented at the 12th European IFSA Symposium (Workshop: "Generating spaces for innovation in agricultural and rural development") in 2016, aims to summarise the main features of the AgriSpin project. The project is being financed by the Horizon 2020...
In the AgriSpin project (2015-2017) fifteen organisations involved in innovation support tried to understand better how each of them made a difference in helping farmers to innovate. In principle, each partner organisation hosted a Cross Visits of 3 – 4...
L’une des avancées les plus importantes dans le domaine de l’observation de la terre est la découverte des indices spectraux, ils ont notamment prouvé leur efficacité dans la caractérisation des surfaces agricoles, mais ils sont généralement définis de manière empirique....
For an intelligent agricultural robot to reliably operate on a large-scale farm, it is crucial to accurately estimate its pose. In large outdoor environments, 3D LiDAR is a preferred sensor. Urban and agricultural scenarios are characteristically different, where the latter...
The European Innovation Partnership for agricultural productivity and sustainability (EIP-AGRI), which can be perceived as a platform based on interaction among farmers, researchers, and advisors/extensionists, represents a useful tool for a better understanding of applied innovation processes. Grounded in the...
