GNSS and steering systems in precision farming:
Positioning, error correction and
accuracy of GNSS systems
Automated steering systems in agriculture
Biosystem sensors
Sensors overview: sensible element
> transduction
> amplifier
> conditioning control
Proximal sensing
Electrical/electromagnetic, optical, electrochemical. Examples: NIRS, hyperspectral
imaging, machine vision, RFID, proximity, on the go
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
Participants are able to understand and applicate the functionality of existing GNSS tools to determine error corrections in agriculture and select appropriate systems for agriculture machinery. Participants are able to evaluate different technologies and tools offered on the market
Participants can evaluate the potential, benefits and drawback of automated steering systems in agriculture and for precision crop farming
Participants gain knowledge about the physical basics of biosensors to be able to design sensor concepts for future applications in agriculture and know about the errors which can appear
