DESIGN OF SENSOR AND COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL FOR AUTOMATED FIELD ROBOT

V diplomskem delu je predstavljena mobilna robotska platforma, ki se lahko uporablja kot osnova za razna opravila v kmetijstvu. Prikazana je zasnova in izvedba senzorike, ki omogoča avtonomno vožnjo mobilnega robota po koruznem polju. Opisan je proces načrtovanja in izdelave elektronskega vezja za zajemanje podatkov in krmiljenje platforme. Predstavljene so izdelane aplikacije in komunikacijski protokol za brezžični prenos podatkov na oddaljeni računalnik, s katerim se izvajata obdelava podatkov ter nadzor nad mobilno platformo.This thesis presents a mobile robot platform, which can be used as the basis for variety of tasks in agriculture. The concept and construction of sensors that allow autonomous driving of mobile robot through the corn field are shown. Further, the process of designing and manufacturing of electronic circuits for data acquisition and controlling the platform is described. Applications and communication protocol for wireless data transmission to a remote computer, which performs data processing and control of the mobile platform, are also presented
