First prototype
Within the project meeting held at the UPV, the researchers presented the first robot prototype on which they have been working for a year. The robot includes a basic safety circuit with many emergency switches and a bumper that stops the robot at any obstacle. The first working year has been focused on two sections: on one side, the robot's mobility in the field, improving the suspension and traction systems in order to climb up slopes with weeds; and in the other side, the development and improvement of the different sensors that will be included in the robot.
