Exploring a novel cable based architecture for an agricultural robotics platform

This thesis examines a potential new architecture for Agri-robotics. A series of architectural decisions are examined and evaluated against a pre-populated problem space foccusing on labour intensive low land use crops. The evaluation also consists of performance metrics at an L1 level and evaluation of the solution space using methods from MDO. The architecture is then compared to existing and near future alternatives and future work is suggested.
