Multi-robots trajectory planning for farm field coverage
Résumé
In the last few years, fleets of mobile robots have received increased interest in agriculture with the development of master/slaves control approaches. This paper proposes on the contrary a planning strategy enabling to generate beforehand the trajectory of each robot. For that, the fleet is considered as a single mobile entity with its steering and speed constraints. An admissible trajectory for this virtual entity, including maneuver phases, is generated to cover the shape of a given field. This one is next used to plan the trajectories of the actual robots. A panel of actual fields with different fleets of robots enables to highlight the relevance of the strategy proposed.
