¶ AgRob v18 autonomous forest robot
Description: The AgRob V18 is an autonomous, diesel-powered caterpillar robotic platform designed for precision agriculture and forestry, particularly in vineyards, featuring advanced 3D LiDAR, SLAM-based navigation, and variable rate technology for spraying. Developed within the SCORPION project, it acts as a modular, robust tool for harsh environments, capable of autonomous localization and data gathering.
Key Features and Capabilities:
Platform: A robust caterpillar-type tractor designed to operate on uneven, steep, and demanding terrains.
Navigation & Perception: Uses Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms—specifically LOAM, A-LOAM, and LeGO-LOAM—to navigate autonomously through forest environments.
AgRob V18 SCORPION Project: Integrated within the H2020 SCORPION project to provide precise, autonomous, and eco-friendly spraying of phytopharmaceuticals and UV light treatments.
Modularity: Features a modular sensor tower designed for collecting forest data and monitoring flora/fauna, along with a carried air blast sprayer for vineyards.
Functionality: It detects trees, estimates diameters, and assists in generating digital twins of forests.
