Expertise: As regard robotic in agriculture we have been involved in : - OPR: Orange picking robot www.robotic.diees.unict.it - RACAR Artichoke harvesting robot (Regional project) - Greenhouse spraying robot (National project) . MOW-BY-SAT Lawn moving robot (www.mow-by-sat.eu ). We have experise in the development of mobile robots for outdoor environments. Our main expertise is in the development of control systems for localisation and autonomous navigation by using sensor fusion of DGPS, Inertial sensors, laser scanners, ultrasound, stereoscopic cameras. Facility: Facilities include two laboratories for the development of hardware electronics and integration of sensors. We have two outdoor platforms with RTK-DGPS, laser scanners, Ultrasound sensors, Stereoscopic vision, Inertial Measurement Unit. Priority: The Service robotic group has carried out research activity in the mobile and industrial robotic sectors within several national and international projects, in cooperation with private and public research centres. The group is expert in the design, realisation and testing of mobile robot prototypes, indoor and outdoor, climbing robots with particular reference to the development of embedded control systems.
