Disciplines for the 2008 contest

Navigation
Navigating in between curved rows of maize, including headland
turning.

 

Robust Navigation
Following a predefined pattern in a maize field with missing plants,
the headland is limited to 1.5 m (or 2 times the length of the robot).

 

Weed Control
Detection of artificial weed (simulated by golf balls), weed control
action.

 

Freestyle
Show your own ideas taking into account your robot’s speciality!
The relevance for agricultural practice will be taken into account by
the evaluation of the committee.

 

Challenge Task
Navigation under extreme conditions in a maize field: hilly or wet
ground, curved rows, weed, missing plants; counting of maize plants.
Each discipline will have awards for the 3 best teams. Summing up
the results for the navigation, robust navigation and weed control the
winners of the Field Robot Event will be determined, thereby taking
into account the costs of the robots.
