Towards developing a realistic robotics simulation environment of an indoor vegetable greenhouse
This work addresses the need for realistic simulation tools for robotics applications in agriculture, specifically for greenhouse environments, but it appears incremental as it applies existing methods to a new domain.
The authors tackled the problem of creating a realistic robotics simulation environment for indoor vegetable greenhouses by constructing 3D cloud images from greenhouse rows and implementing it in CoppeliaSim, with testing conducted using images from a commercial greenhouse.
This article presents a method for developing a realistic robotics simulation environment for application in vegetable greenhouses. The method pipeline starts with the construction of a 3D cloud images of the greenhouse rows. This data is then used to develop a robotics simulation environment using the CoppeliaSim simulation software. The method has been tested using images from a commercial greenhouse.
