Abstract:
A skid steering-type remote-controllable unmanned sprayer includes: wheels installed at the both lateral sides; a chemical spray device to spray a chemical through a chemical spray nozzle; and a boom to locate the chemical spray nozzle to spray the chemical to a target. The sprayer may include: a manipulation unit which includes switches for a user to manually or automatically control the driving, posture, and chemical spraying of the skid steering-type remote-controllable unmanned sprayer and generates selection signals according to the manipulation of the switches; a sensor unit which includes sensors for sensing the driving status and speed of the skid steering-type remote-controllable unmanned sprayer and neighboring obstacles and generates sensor signals by the sensors; a control unit which calculates pre-compensation position data, which is not yet compensated, from the sensors, compensates the observation errors included in the pre-compensation position data using the expanded Kalman filter to calculate post-compensation position data, determines the next target position according to the current position determined based on the post-compensation position data, the detected moving object guiding lines, and a certain operation schedule, and generates a wheel control signal for operating the wheels to move to the next target position; and a wheel driving unit which drives the wheels based on the wheel control signal.
