Otto is a 3-wheeled mobile robot (a VolksBot® RT 3 from Fraunhofer IAIS). The goal of the project is to make Otto capable to autonomously navigate a cultivated field, e.g., to keep the crop rows free from weeds, to water the crop, etc.

Activities

• A docking station for a moderate off-road autonomous agricultural robot, R. Pasta's stage.
• Otto crop row following robot, C. Ferrareis's stage.
• Row following in horticoltural crops, M. di Gallo's stage.
• Control system for otto, an off-road robotic base, F. di Lauro's stage.
