Purpose Focusing on the problem that the visual detection algorithm of navigation path line in intelligent harvester robot is susceptible to interference and low accuracy, a navigation path detection algorithm based on improved random sampling consensus is proposed. Design/methodology/approach...

Purpose Accurately, positioning is a fundamental requirement for vision measurement systems. The calculation of the harvesting width can not only help farmers adjust the direction of the intelligent harvesting robot in time but also provide data support for future unmanned vehicles....

Purpose To reduce the effect of parameter uncertainties and input saturation on path tracking control for autonomous combine harvester, a path tracking controller is proposed, which integrates an adaptive neural network estimator and a saturation-aided system. Design/methodology/approach First,...

Purpose This paper aims to propose a new autonomous driving controller to calibrate the absolute heading adaptively. Besides, the second purpose of this paper is to propose a new angle-track loop with a mass regulator to improve the adaptability of the autonomous driving system under different...

Purpose In path tracking, pure pursuit (PP) has great superiority due to its simple control. However, when in agricultural applications, the performance and accuracy of PP are not so well; it cannot be tracked in time has slow convergence, and low tracking accuracy. Furthermore, in some severe...
