Abstract

The objective of this research work is to develop an autonomous levee-weeding robot. In this paper, pathway control system for the robot is developed and simulated. A prototype autonomous vehicle for levee weeding is also developed and used in the actual test. The results obtained in this research work is summarized as follows; 1) The simulated typical time history of lateral displacements and heading angle of the vehicle in straight run shows that the vehicle tendency is always to achieve the target path from any of its deviated position and heading angle. 2) The test run on an asphalt surface by the prototype crawler-type vehicle is in good agreement with the simulation results.
