Model based performance analysis of a light weight autonomous potato harvester : Feasibility study of lightweight, autonomous potato harvest strategies by means of model experiments
This study aimed to determine the feasibility of a lightweight autonomous potato harvester operating in a controlled traffic farming system by conducting a model-based performance analysis of concepts for this system and comparing this with the performance of conventional harvesting systems. The entire harvesting and transport process was modelled with the use of discrete event simulation. This report shows that the value proposition with mobile field robotic solutions is a viable option to overcome the challenges of current oversized harvest machinery.
