First, we will collect multispectral data with a DJI Matrice 300 drone and a MicaSence RedEdge-P dual sensor. The goal is to monitor the culture and then define the agricultural action.
Next, the aim of the demonstration is to perform an agricultural task use two robots that work in cooperation. The robot 1 is the leader and try to follow a trajectory at a constant speed using RTK GNSS (real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system). The second one try to follow its own trajectory using the same sensor but also control its speed to maintain a desired distance from the leader along the trajectory. For example, it is possible to travel side by side or some meters below the leader.
At the end of the line, the robots perform the U-turn one after the other. For example, if the follower is the first robot to reach the U-turn area, it reserves the area, makes the U-turn, and release it when it finishes. The second robot will wait that the U-turn area is empty before entering it.
The robots are equipped with implements that can be controlled to perform a task on the vineyard. In the case of this demo, they will just roll on the ground.
