The experiment took place in orchards from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cefel.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.cefel.eu\/\">CEFEL<\/a> in Montauban. This is a major step towards the ARPON project&#8217;s success, as this project is expected to provide a proof of concept of an autonomous navigation strategy relying only on embedded sensors (and not on GPS, see <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/sample-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.laas.fr\/projects\/ARPON\/presentation\">here<\/a>). The following video briefly recalls the main aspects of the project and shows this important achievement. The next steps will consist of integrating a topological map, together with improving the perception and the guidance system to reduce undesired oscillations and take into account obstacles in the robot&#8217;s surroundings.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Le projet ARPON : vers un robot autonome dans les vergers\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iuXzRYMcymo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Hunter 2.0 robot has managed to sequence several row following and U-turns in the orchards using only the four [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":134,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,18],"tags":[37,34,36,35],"class_list":["post-128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-results-experiments-tests-validation","category-work-in-progress-milestone","tag-agricultural-robotics","tag-autonomous-navigation","tag-gps-free-navigation","tag-vision-based-navigation","post-with-thumbnail","post-with-thumbnail-large"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":197,"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128\/revisions\/197"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.laas.fr\/arpon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
