摘要

Using areal and ground-based robotics systems is one possible component on the way to more sustainable crop production. In this work, we show, how a combination of a UAV and ground robot can be used to automate the process of single plant and even leaf-level inspection of crops in the field, as the farmer usually does manually by physically going to the plants. The work integrates UAV-based plant and weed mapping, UGV path planning and execution, viewpoint planning and control of a robot-mounted arm with a multi-camera head, as well as high-resolution 3D reconstruction.
