Abstract
This paper introduces a modular robotic platform based on tracks for versatile terrain adaptability. The system integrates a vision system and sensors for autonomous navigation, enabling semi-autonomous and fully autonomous operations. Additionally, the platform features a multi-spectral camera mounted on a robotic arm for plant monitoring. The evaluation of the systems demonstrates the robot’s capability to navigate toward target positions, avoid obstacles, and detect and scan crops. This modular approach offers a foundation for advancing sustainable farming practices and addressing the challenges the agricultural industry faces.
