Description
Summary:These days, engineers are working on making existing machines smarter and easier to use rather than trying to develop new ones. In agriculture, their aim is to let machines either do the job or assist the operator in repetitive tasks due to operators must concentrate on driving accurately the agriculture machinery on parallel paths and with high precision in order to avoid overlaps in the field. With GPS guidance-aided systems, commonly known as light-bar guidance, the operator steers the machinery, with an accuracy of 5 inches in the field. This work presents the art study for the use of GPS guidance- aid in machinery and its application in precision agriculture.
