The project revolves around automation in nursery farms and greenhouses. The goal is to deliver planted pots using autonomous unmanned systems. Planted pots will be loaded/unloaded to/from plant carts using a small robot called BigTop, designed and developed at the supporting organization, AIS. Motion planning, control, and navigation algorithms will be developed through this project for a mother vehicle, equipped with a myriad of on board sensors, to move plant carts to their goal position in the nursery farms/greenhouse without any human intervention. Neither loading/unloading planted pots to/from plant carts, nor docking of the mother vehicle to the plan carts would be studied in this project.
On board sensors will be used to generate a digital incremental map of the environment, as new information about the environment become available, to localize the cart-puller vehicle inside this map, and to plan efficient, and safe motion plans within this environment fully autonomously.
