- 10. Multi-Agent AI The Toutilo Cobot: a farming assistant and companion
- 11. • Human interaction and autonomy • Lateral Precision (< 1 cm in field conditions) • Low consumption (batteries, solar) • Embedded software only • No cloud: local communication only Cobot guidance & interaction with humans and crops • Small farms (market gardening, vegetables, fruits) • Reduction of work physical pain • Companion vehicules, (relatively) low cost Organic and transitional agriculture
- 12. Device prototype Sound Interaction Controler system overview Field tests AUDIO FEEDBACK for Toutilo Human-vehicle interaction: • Control • Security
- 13. Camera + AI Pilot orders & feedback: precision security + Audio Feedback ? Embedded low consumption AI for Cobot guidance • Guidance: Physical line Crops alignment • Camera system: Embedded & real time Low consumption • Precision: Engines control orders Mecanic tool for weeds reduction
