KRIBL

The KRIBL project in general focuses on creating a robot platform for various agricultural applications, including autonomous monitoring of segetal flora, protection against birds of prey in poultry farming, and generic robot behavior for precision[…]

In an exciting collaboration between academia and industry, a custom-built autonomous research platform is poised to revolutionize the realm of small-scale agriculture. Meticulously designed to cater specifically to the needs of smaller biological enterprises without[…]

We today had a short field trip to our partner, Thünen-Institute in Trenthorst, to familiarize ourselves with different types of plate meters for measuring grass height on pastures. First steps towards integrating this with our[…]

Researcher Ngoc Thinh Nguyen presents the paper “Navigation with polytopes and B-spline path planner” at the 2023 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), in London, UK.

Our student Niklas Kompe presenting his paper “Autonomous detection of Rumex” at the 2023 Student Conference of University of Lübeck. Researcher Ngoc Thinh Nguyen, co-author of the paper, also presents as the session chair.

Our partner IDE Automation has modified one of our Jackal mobile robots. It now has upgraded wheels for rough terrain, larger track gauge, more mounting options and is water- and dust-proof. Two Intel Realsense and[…]

Auf der BIOFACH 2022 konnten wir das KRIBL-Projekt im Rahmen der Präsenz des Thünen-Instituts vorstellen. Vielen Dank an Niklas Kompe, der das Video erstellt hat!

Jackal mobile robots navigating in formation. The wifi base station maintains the connectivity between them.

Visual perception of Jackal merged from ZED stereo camera and Ouster 3D Lidar. Combing both the sensors allow our Jackal to localize itself during navigation using different SLAM algorithms such as GMapping, Cartographer, OctoMap, RTABMap,[…]
