VinePT-Map: Pole-Trunk Semantic Mapping for Resilient Autonomous Robotics in Vineyards
Giorgio Audrito, Mauro Martini, Alessandro Navone +2
Reliable long-term deployment of autonomous robots in agricultural environments remains challenging due to perceptual aliasing, seasonal variability, and the dynamic nature of crop…
TEMPO-VINE: A Multi-Temporal Sensor Fusion Dataset for Localization and Mapping in Vineyards
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…
Semi-Supervised Novelty Detection for Precise Ultra-Wideband Error Signal Prediction
Umberto Albertin, Alessandro Navone, Mauro Martini +1
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology is an emerging low-cost solution for localization in a generic environment. However, UWB signal can be affected by signal reflections and non-line-o…
Non-linear Model Predictive Control for Multi-task GPS-free Autonomous Navigation in Vineyards
Matteo Sperti, Marco Ambrosio, Mauro Martini +3
Autonomous navigation is the foundation of agricultural robots. This paper focuses on developing an advanced autonomous navigation system for a rover operating within row-based cro…
