Side-to-side 3D coverage path planning approach for agricultural robots to minimize skip/overlap areas between swaths
We developed a more efficient 3D field coverage approach compared to existing approaches. We developed a numerical approach to examine the efficiency of 3D coverage algorithms in terms of skip/overlap areas. We developed side-to-side 3D field coverage approach, which ensure 100regardless the topographical nature of the field surface. Simulation and real field experiments are conducted to prove the efficiency and superiority of the developed approaches.
