• The navigation system of the robot is a hybrid reflex-deliberate system, where

obstacle avoidance is done with high priority based directly on sensor data

(Ultrasound, laser sensor and the camera).

• The control algorithm represents a state machine, where depending on situation

1. Research & Study

Field robot is a programmable mobile robot that can execute variety of

algorithms and commands to both teach basics of robotics and try new

concepts in the area.

2. Demonstrations

Field robot can demonstrate software or new hardware due to its modular

design.

3. Classical field robot functions

Field robot is suited to observe and navigate agricultural fields or other

areas.

The development of the “Rottweiler” field robot was done in several steps,

including design of mechanical system, electronics, controls. Programming of the

robot is still in progress.
