AgriTech Turtlebot Simulation

This project looked into the mapping and path planning of a Turtlebot in a simulated field environment.

• Collaborated in a team of 3 mechatronics engineering students to design, develop, and deliver a simulation of an autonomous TurtleBot3 navigating an agricultural crop farm environment.
• Programmed robot behaviours for pest detection and response in agricultural fields, addressing real-world food security challenges in Australia.
• Applied robotics principles including localisation, mapping, SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping), and path planning.
• Utilised ROS1, Gazebo, RViz, Visual Studio, and C++ for development and testing.
• Established design objectives and evaluation criteria, applying systems thinking to analyse and solve the robotics challenge.
