Automation technology is developing rapidly, not least in agriculture. Several of the biggest challenges in vehicular automation technology, such as complex interactions with other road users, are less problematic for agricultural vehicles than for road vehicles. There is therefore potential for comparatively rapid development and market introduction.
The purpose of this project is to develop important elements for automation of field work for plant cultivation and verify them in real operation on an existing agricultural machine. This includes, in addition to control systems for vehicle propulsion, also control of implements, security, computer communication and interfaces with other hardware and software. The goal is to make open source code available for systems that can be used as a software platform for autonomous agricultural vehicles, which can then be used to develop systems that are increasingly powerful, cheap and environmentally friendly plant cultivation systems.
Automationstekniken utvecklas snabbt, inte minst inom jordbruket. Flera av de största utmaningarna inom fordonsområdet, såsom komplexa interaktioner med andra trafikanter, är mindre problematiska för jordbruksfordon än för vägfordon. Det finns därför potential för en relativt snabb utveckling och marknadsintroduktion.
Syftet med detta projekt är att utveckla viktiga element för automatisering av fältarbetet för odling av växter och verifiera dem i verklig drift på en befintlig jordbruksmaskin. Detta inkluderar, förutom styrsystem för framdrivning av fordon, även styrning av redskap, säkerhet, datorkommunikation och gränssnitt med annan hårdvara och programvara. Målet är att göra öppen källkod tillgänglig för system som kan användas som en mjukvaruplattform för autonoma jordbruksfordon, som sedan kan användas för att utveckla system som blir allt kraftfullare, billiga och miljövänligare växter.

It is well known that storage of animal manure and digestate causes emissions of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia (NH3). A crust on liquid manure acts both as a physical barrier for NH3 and as a biofilter that oxidize CH4 and NH3. However, N2O can be formed in some crusts, and there …

The aim of the project is to characterize genomic diversity and inbreeding, within and between Nordic native horse breeds, with special focus on the Norwegian and Swedish breeds. For this we will use whole genome sequencing of individual and pooled DNA samples. Genomic characterization is an …

Insulin dysregulation and hyperinsulinemia is a horse welfare problem that also increase the incidence of the severely painful condition laminitis in horses. Today, no pharmacological treatment is available but recent weak evidence suggest that Sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLT) inhibitors (e.g. …

The bacterium Lawsonia intracellularis causes the disease proliferative enteropathy. The bacterium is present in >40% of the Swedish piglet-producing herds and production losses are estimated to 2 900 SEK per sow and year. The disease is spread by faeces and the pigs are usually affected after …

It is generally accepted that muscle enzyme activity (CK and AST) levels in plasma may increase in Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds after exercise and racing, indicating muscle damage. However, in one recent study on healthy Standardbred trotters fed a forage only diet muscle enzyme activity levels …

Structure liming on clayey soils (>15% clay) is one of the prioritized measures for mitigation of phosphorous losses to surrounding water. This project increases the knowledge about the effect of structure liming on phosphorous leaching losses on short and long term by investigating the timing and …

Oilseed rape (OSR) is a profitable and important crop in Swedish agriculture, especially winter OSR which is cultivated on approximately 100000 ha each year. Cultivation of OSR relies on large inputs of fertilizers and pesticides, which has economic costs as well as negative environmental impacts. …

According to applicable legislation, manure and digestate must be sanitized in order to prevent disease transmission before they may be merchandised on the open market. Swedish plants currently have the choice between using one of two standard methods (70 °C for 1 h, or 52 °C for 10 h), or carry …
