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

  http://www.mobotsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/safar2_init_500.jpg

  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/uploads/2010/01/safar2_fields_500.jpg

  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/uploads/2010/01/safar2_vehicles_500.jpg

  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/uploads/2010/01/safar2_behaviours_500.jpg

  Edit the parameters that define the behaviour of your vehicle.

  

• Add objects for the simulation

  http://www.mobotsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/safar2_objects_500.jpg

  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/uploads/2010/01/safar2_mrds_500.jpg

  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/uploads/2010/01/safar2_stats_500.jpg

  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.
