About the topic

Autonomous agricultural vehicles need the ability to move independently on the field. A key part of this task is planning a path to cover all of the field area as efficiently as possible. The path should avoid all static obstacles, and result in no gaps or overlaps in the processing of the soil. Goals of the thesis work include:

• Researching state-of-the-art coverage path planning algorithms
• Understanding the key aspects of the agricultural applications
• Implementing a coverage path planning algorithm for agricultural tractors
• Simulation and experimental tests with a real tractor; evaluation of the results
