Abstract

Chapter 2 will begin with introduction of Agricultural Robotics. There will be a literature review of the mechanical structure, vision and control algorithms. In chapter 3 we will discuss the methodology in detail using block diagrams and flowcharts. The results of the tested and the proposed algorithms will also be displayed. In chapter 4 we will discuss the results in detail and how they are of significance in our work. In chapter 5 we will conclude our work and discuss some future perspectives. In appendices we will provide some background information necessary regarding this project.
