1. Helvis - a Small-scale Agricultural Mobile Robot Prototype for Precision Agriculture

The use of agricultural robots is emerging in a complex scenario where it is necessary to produce more food to feed a crescent population, decrease production costs, fight plagues and diseases, and preserve nature. Around the world, there are many research institutes and companies trying to apply mobile robotics techniques in agricultural fields. Mostly, large prototypes are being used and their shapes and dimensions are very similar to tractors and trucks. In the present study, a small-scale... M. Becker, A.E. Velasquez, H.B. Guerrero, V.A.
