Robot – Strategy
| 1st task: | For the navigation tasks, the algorithms will focus on mapping the rows. With the help of the Lidar and ultrasonica sensors, the robot will be adjusted in order to keep it centered on the row. On the headland, the robot will turn and return in the adjacent row. |
| 2nd task: | Same as the 1st task, but will turn the specified row. |
| 3rd task: | The Raspberry Pi is going to provide information to the main board about the weeds found on the row, with the help of Pixy CMUcam5. When the brown corn will be detected, it will trigger a “weed found” state, so the correct algorithm will be called in the following sequences. Then, it will memorize the curent position and generate the map with the collected information. |
