SAFAR Project – Software Architecture For Agricultural Robots

SAFAR is a joint project of UniBots and MobotSoft to build a Software Architecture For Agricultural Robots.  With SAFAR, you can easily define your farm, including  fields, vehicles, implements and routes. Then,  SAFAR can run a realistic 3D physics simulation of your farm, or communicate to real vehicles to control them in real-time. Read more…

• Start SAFAR2

  Create a new Farm. Use the built-in google earth plugin to create your farm in any place on Earth

  

• Add Fields to your Farm

  http://www.mobotsoft.com/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/vendors/timthumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/safar2_fields_500.jpg&w=500&h=321&q=100&a=t

  Create fields graphically with the mouse. Add routes and exclusion areas to your fields

  

• Add Vehicles and Implements to your farm

  http://www.mobotsoft.com/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/vendors/timthumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/safar2_vehicles_500.jpg&w=500&h=321&q=100&a=t

  Choose among the vehicle models available in SAFAR. Edit the configuration of your vehicles and implements

  

• Configure the behaviours

  http://www.mobotsoft.com/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/vendors/timthumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/safar2_behaviours_500.jpg&w=500&h=321&q=100&a=t

  Edit the parameters that define the behaviour of your vehicle

  

• Add objects for the simulation

  http://www.mobotsoft.com/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/vendors/timthumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/safar2_objects_500.jpg&w=500&h=321&q=100&a=t

  You can add trees, ponds, rocks, posts to your farm that will be shown in the 3D simulation

  

• Run the simulation or control the real vehicle

  http://www.mobotsoft.com/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/vendors/timthumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/safar2_mrds_500.jpg&w=500&h=321&q=100&a=t

  Once you have completed the farm scenario, SAFAR can use MRDS to run a realistic 3D physics simulation, or to control a real vehicle

  

• See the resulting statistics

  http://www.mobotsoft.com/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/vendors/timthumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/safar2_stats_500.jpg&w=500&h=321&q=100&a=t

  SAFAR computes a set of performance statistics that provide valuable information: area, distance and time travelled and worked, trafficked area, overlap area, etc. Different areas are shown in the google earth plugin

  

WebFarming

WebFarming is a web application that aims to provide farmers with a tool that allows them to evaluate improvements in operational efficiency in terms of cost, chemical, time and fuel/CO2 savings and other optimization benefits resulting from the use of Route Planner techniques and autosteer equipment.

The user is able to manually upload files with their current GPS work data, compute costs and perform statistical evaluation, and compare them with the same results from the routes re-planned by the application. Read more…
