Abstract
The integration of augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR), and virtual reality (VR) technologies in agriculture has shown significant promise in enhancing various agricultural practices. Mobile robots have also been adopted as assessment tools in precision agriculture, improving economic efficiency and productivity, and minimizing undesired effects such as weeds and pests. Despite considerable work on both fronts, the combination of a versatile User Interface (UI) provided by an AR headset with the integration and direct interaction and control of a mobile field robot has not yet been fully explored or standardized. This work aims to address this gap by providing real-time data input and control output of a mobile robot for precision agriculture through a virtual environment enabled by an AR headset interface. The system leverages open-source computational tools and off-the-shelf…
