About the topic

Coverage path planning (CPP) is an important task in autonomous field operations. The aim of CPP is to find a path that passes over every point of an area of interest. In agriculture, this task is encountered especially in crop cultivation, including tasks like harrowing and sowing. Measuring the efficiency of a coverage solution is essential for optimizing this task. Goals of the thesis work include:

• Researching state-of-the-art coverage path planning for agricultural applications
• Deriving a set of metrics for measuring the efficiency of coverage path planning
• Programmatic implementation of the computation of the chosen metrics
• Simulation and experimental tests and evaluation
