  • AUTOMATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AGRICULTURAL CROP MONITORING AND SAMPLING
    Publication number: 20240324485
    Abstract: A robotic system navigates a terrain adjacent one or more agricultural crops. The system includes a movable body operable to navigate the ground terrain, a tracking camera configured to generate visual-inertial odometry (VIO) data, a first LiDAR sensor configured to capture a first set of LiDAR data, a second LiDAR sensor configured to capture a second set of LiDAR data, and a controller. The controller is configured to generate terrain navigation instructions utilizing a Monte Carlo Localization algorithm, wherein the Monte Carlo Localization algorithm includes the VIO data from the tracking camera and the first set of LiDAR data.
