Energy Prediction on Sloping Ground for Quadruped Robots
Mohamed Ounally, Cyrille Pierre, Johann Laconte
Energy management is a fundamental challenge for legged robots in outdoor environments. Endurance directly constrains mission success, while efficient resource use reduces ecologic…
Feeling the Force: A Nuanced Physics-based Traversability Sensor for Navigation in Unstructured Vegetation
Zaar Khizar, Johann Laconte, Roland Lenain +1
In many applications, robots are increasingly deployed in unstructured and natural environments where they encounter various types of vegetation. Vegetation presents unique challen…
A Novel Control Strategy for Offset Points Tracking in the Context of Agricultural Robotics
Stephane Ngnepiepaye Wembe, Vincent Rousseau, Johann Laconte +1
In this paper, we present a novel method to control a rigidly connected location on the vehicle, such as a point on the implement in case of agricultural tasks. Agricultural robots…
Toward a Better Understanding of Robot Energy Consumption in Agroecological Applications
Alexis Bras, Alix Montanaro, Cyrille Pierre +2
In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis and discussion of energy consumption in agricultural robots. Robots are emerging as a promising solution to address food producti…
Collision-Aware Traversability Analysis for Autonomous Vehicles in the Context of Agricultural Robotics
Florian Philippe, Johann Laconte, Pierre-Jean Lapray +2
