Description
Summary:With the continuous development of economic globalization, the research demand for intelligent agricultural machinery equipment in modern agriculture is increasing. This paper, which aims at the positioning problem of mobile robots in agriculture production, proposes a low-cost magnetic positioning scheme for cement ground. First, the analytical magnetic field model of ground magnets was established. Then, by comparing the analytic computing results, simulation results, and measured values, the modified model of magnetic fields was built and the relevant impact factors were calculated. After that, acquisition devices were used to collect the ground magnetic field data for the establishment of a magnetic field matching algorithm. Finally, the result showed that the positioning displacement error was ±1 mm, and the positioning accuracy was higher than the conventional indoor positioning method, which solved the problem of the low indoor positioning accuracy of agriculture mobile robots and contributes to the efficient production and modernization of agricultural machinery equipment.
