Project description
The use of robots as in the agricultural sector is increasingly becoming a necessity. Partly this because of a lack of manpower in this sector where robots can take over task. There is also a driver for robots from a sustainability perspective. Multiple compact robots might take over the tasks of one large machine, which saves soil compaction. Robot’s driving might also enable electrical driven vehicles working on renewable energy. Furthermore, robots might ensure greater operational reliability: if one robot fails, other robots can take over tasks. The robots must work well together.
Context
The context for the project is the agricultural sector
Results
We have simulation with multiple robots working together in a fleet to clean a barn. The application has a dashboard to let the user assign tasks.
About the project group
We are a group of 4 Technology students who have been working for 5 months on this project
