CropCraft: A Procedural World Generator for Robotic Simulation of Agricultural Tasks
Riccardo Bertoglio, Cyrille Pierre, Johann Laconte +1
The adoption of agroecological practices in modern agriculture requires robotic systems capable of operating in highly diverse and complex field environments. Developing and evalua…
A Predictive Control Strategy to Offset-Point Tracking for Agricultural Mobile Robots
Stephane Ngnepiepaye Wembe, Vincent Rousseau, Johann Laconte +1
Robots are increasingly being deployed in agriculture to support sustainable practices and improve productivity. They offer strong potential to enable precise, efficient, and envir…
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…
Collision-Aware Traversability Analysis for Autonomous Vehicles in the Context of Agricultural Robotics
Florian Philippe, Johann Laconte, Pierre-Jean Lapray +2
In this paper, we introduce a novel method for safe navigation in agricultural robotics. As global environmental challenges intensify, robotics offers a powerful solution to reduce…
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…
