Control and guidance system for optimal maintenance operations on pastures by an autonomous mobile machine

Résumé

Over the next decades, it is expected that the world population will continue to grow and cause an increase in the consumption of meat and dairy products. The challenge is to manage this growing demand in a sustainable manner. The cattle population increased worldwide in recent years while the area of permanent grassland in the world stagnated. Consequently, the efficiency of the production on grazing pastures needs to be improved. Quantity and quality losses of pasture forage are especially consequences of insufficient pasture maintenance. Optimal pasture maintenance includes the mulching of leftovers and the reseeding of damaged swards after grazing. Typically, these operations are carried out once a year with suitable machinery on the whole area or there was no pasture maintenance at all. The available information and communication technologies (ICT) become suitable for improving the pasture maintenance e.g. spots of interests can be identified by the 2D laser scanner technology. Combining this technology with the global positioning system (GPS) for navigation, scouting an maintenance operations can be carried out by autonomous robots. This paper presents the result within the ICT-AGRI project i-LEED* considering testing of a pasture robot developed based on a commercially available machine.
