RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LANE CHANGE PERFORMANCE AND OPEN-LOOP HANDLING METRICS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Mechanical Engineering by Robert A. Powell December 2009 Accepted by: Dr. E. Harry Law, Committee Co-Chair Dr. Beshahwired Ayalew, Committee Co-Chair Dr. John Ziegert Abstract This work deals with the question of relating open-loop handling metrics to driver- in-the-loop performance (closed-loop). The goal is to allow manufacturers to reduce cost and time associated with vehicle handling development. A vehicle model was built in the CarSim environment using kinematics and compliance, geometrical, and flat track tire data. This model was then compared and validated to testing done at Michelin’s Laurens Proving Grounds using open-loop handling metrics. The open-loop tests conducted for model vali- dation were an understeer test and swept sine or random steer test.

A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2017 ABSTRACT PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A CONSTANT SPEED LOCAL OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE CONTROLLER USING A MPC ALGORITHM ON GRANULAR TERRAIN Nicholas Haraus, B.S.M.E. Marquette University, 2017 A Model Predictive Control (MPC) LIDAR-based constant speed local obstacle avoidance algorithm has been implemented on rigid terrain and granular terrain in Chrono to examine the robustness of this control method. Provided LIDAR data as well as a target location, a vehicle can route itself around obstacles as it encounters them and arrive at an end goal via an optimal route. This research is one important step towards eventual implementation of autonomous vehicles capable of navigating on all terrains. Using Chrono, a multibody physics API, this controller has been tested on a complex multibody physics HMMWV model representing the plant in this study. A penalty-based DEM approach is used to model contacts on both rigid ground and granular terrain.

  • The Robotanist: a Ground-Based Agricultural Robot for High-Throughput Crop Phenotyping
    The Robotanist: A Ground-Based Agricultural Robot for High-Throughput Crop Phenotyping Tim Mueller-Sim, Merritt Jenkins, Justin Abel, and George Kantor Abstract— The established processes for measuring phys- iological and morphological traits (phenotypes) of crops in outdoor test plots are labor intensive and error-prone. Low-cost, reliable, field-based robotic phenotyping will enable geneticists to more easily map genotypes to phenotypes, which in turn will improve crop yields. In this paper, we present a novel robotic ground-based platform capable of autonomously navigating below the canopy of row crops such as sorghum or corn. The robot is also capable of deploying a manipulator to measure plant stalk strength and gathering phenotypic data with a modular array of non-contact sensors. We present data obtained from deployments to Sorghum bicolor test plots at various sites in South Carolina, USA. I. INTRODUCTION Plant phenotyping is a critical step in the process of breed- ing crops for higher yield, disease resistance, drought tol- erance, and other desirable traits. Plant genome researchers must empirically confirm that new cross-breeds exhibit asso- ciated phenotypes, such as stalk width, leaf area, leaf angle, and color. Unfortunately, the rate at which these associations are measured and analyzed is slower than the rate of plant genome research. Fig. 1. The Robotanist in sorghum breeding plots near Clemson, SC. This deficiency is well-recognized by the scientific com- • munity, which has deemed it the Phenotyping Bottleneck [1]. A platform capable of navigating between row crops This bottleneck is caused by a variety of factors, including and deploying phenotyping sensors for sub-canopy data labor-intensive processes, their associated costs, and the collection • necessity of replicated trials.

  • 2019 AIM Program
    A Message from ASABE President Maury Salz Welcome to the 2019 Annual International Meeting (AIM) of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers in Boston, Massachusetts. I extend a special welcome to first time participants, international attendees and pre-professionals. I am confident you will find the meeting a welcoming and stimulating investment of your time. AIM offers a wide array of opportunities for you to gain knowledge in technical sessions, make new or catch-up with old friends at social events, contribute to the ongoing growth efforts in technical communities, and to celebrate the accomplishments of peers in the awards ceremonies. I highly encourage you to engage in the opening keynote session by GreenBiz’s Joel Makower and the following panel discussion on sustainability and the need for a national strategy, which could alter how we live. We as individuals, and collectively as ASABE, will be challenged to think about how this broader vision of sustainability could fundamentally change our lives and the profession. I want to thank our friends at Cornell University for serving as local hosts and the volunteer coordinators. Students work as volunteers to enhance the experience for all meeting participants and you can locate them by their blue shirts. Please thank them when you have the chance. Boston is rich in history and be sure to take some time to experience what this unique area has to offer. I also encourage you to participate actively in AIM and reflect on how you can advance the Society goals to benefit yourself personally and the people of the world.

Student, Department of Electrical Engineering, NIITTTR, Chandigarh1 Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, NIITTTR, Chandigarh2 Abstract: With the advancement of science and recent technologies the attention of scientist is getting directed towards two field – Farming and Robotics System. But the combination of two technologies can serve efficiently for many problems by overcoming the limitation of previous technologies. Robotics technologies alone serve very well for the various problems in the field of engineering, medical, military, industry evolution and other various areas of development and requirements, but here we pile together the new advancement in agriculture with robotics to develop the agriculture system which can be used in more complex dynamic systems. This technology provides optimum and efficient solution for wide ranges of production with their merits and demerits. This robotic system is named as agricultural robot. This paper provides a detail review of the Robot. Keywords: Movement, Agricultural robot, Arduino, Robot Architecture, Agricultural Functions. I. INTRODUCTION Farmers are the backbone for food production. In India, with the help of different computation algorithm. The about 56% people are dependent upon agriculture to earn improved specification helps to design, smartly control, livelihood as shown in the figure (Fig. 1). But technical and to make agriculture safe and suitable for everyone. In advancement in agriculture is lesser as compared to other this paper the author suggested that robot will start seeding field.
