The increasing world population makes it necessary to fight challenges such as climate
change and to realize production efficiently and quickly. However, the minimum cost …

Mobile robots lack a driver or a pilot and, thus, should be able to detect obstacles
autonomously. This paper reviews various image-based obstacle detection techniques …

Phenotyping plants is an essential component of any effort to develop new crop varieties. As
plant breeders seek to increase crop productivity and produce more food for the future, the …

Manual assessments of plant phenotypes in the field can be labor-intensive and inefficient.
The high-throughput field phenotyping systems and in particular robotic systems play an …

Multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), although originally designed and developed
for defence and military purposes, in the last ten years have gained momentum, especially …

Subterranean openings, including mines, present a unique and challenging environment for
robots and autonomous exploration systems. Autonomous robots that are created today will …

The paper discusses the state-of-the-art of locomotion systems for ground mobile robots
comprising tracks. Tracked locomotion, due to the large contact surface with the ground, is …
