Mauro Martini, Marco Ambrosio, Judith Vilella-Cantos +2
In recent years, precision agriculture has been introducing groundbreaking innovations in the field, with a strong focus on automation. However, research studies in robotics and au…
Autonomous Robotic Pruning in Orchards and Vineyards: a Review
Alessandro Navone, Mauro Martini, Marcello Chiaberge
Manual pruning is labor intensive and represents up to 25% of annual labor costs in fruit production, notably in apple orchards and vineyards where operational challenges and cost…
Adaptive Robot Localization with Ultra-wideband Novelty Detection
Umberto Albertin, Mauro Martini, Alessandro Navone +1
Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology has shown remarkable potential as a low-cost general solution for robot localization. However, limitations of the UWB signal for precise positioning…
