Cover Story: In order to address the complexity of farming operations, this paper proposes a paradigm to switch between several robotic behaviors in real time, depending on the situation (crop detection, localization accuracy, etc.). Three main control strategies are presented (trajectory tracking, edge following and furrow pursuing) using different types of sensors (GPS, IMU, Lidar, etc.). A multi-criteria strategy is then proposed to allow the autonomous selection of control mode depending on the situation and the work to be achieved. The efficiency of the algorithm is investigated through full-scale experiments on a SabiAgri electrical tractor in the framework of the joint laboratory Tiara. The results obtained show accurate results on a weeding operation (in maize and bean fields) and on emulated vineyard scenarios. View this paper
