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.

Applying circular economy principles to agriculture is a systematic approach to reduce the environmental and climate impact of agriculture while increasing efficiency, production and profitability. The road to circular agriculture requires that we 1) minimize external inputs, 2) reduce losses and …

Potato cultivars that are resistant to late blight and at the same time having acceptable other traits, have started to emerge. However, little of this material is used in Sweden and no organized and comparative table potato trials are done. Biological products against skin-finish diseases are …

Agriculture in plain-lands is often specialized in crop production, with no on-farm use of ley as animal fodder, and crop rotations that often includes only annual crops (e.g. oilseed rape, cereals and sugar beets). At the same time, integrating ley in arable cropping systems generates several …

Achieving and maintaining a good stable climate with low ammonia levels is a major challenge for many poultry farmers. In addition to adversely affecting animal health, production and the working environment, high levels of ammonia in the stable can also lead to increased environmental impact. The …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat. The WHO global action plan on AMR mentions LA-MRSA (Livestock-associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) that is prevalent in pigs in many countries. The public health threat is generally low but for affected individuals it is a …
