Test and validation of autonomous navigation and mapping solutions for UGVs, by quantification of the system performance metrics through comparison with millimeter accuracy ground truth data for an agricultural field with rough terrains.
The Danish Test Fields are located close to DTIs headquarter for the Center for Agriculture and Digitalisation. Additional test fields can be made available upon request and DTI can provide both homogeneous and heterogeneous fields of varying soil types, topography and other relevant conditions. DTI has a lot of experience selecting and acquiring the right fields for specific trials.
The facility includes a mechanical workshop, an extensive range of robot platforms and hardware (e.g., sensors) and a 200 m³ motion capture volume. A close collaboration with Università degli Studi di Milano allows AIRLab to test robot systems for agricultural applications in fields, orchards and greenhouses.
The cluster comprises 4 servers with 24 GPUs overall and a NAS. It is installed in a climate-controlled server room; power is distributed via industrial UPS units.
