Abstract: An autonomous all-terrain robot for agricultural industries is designed to install support stakes inground on plant beds while being able to self-navigate. Apparatus and method provide a robot having the ability to perform the actions of navigating between plant beds and to determine a precise location and depth to place each supporting stake. The purpose of the stakes is to support the plants with weak stems. Part of some planting processes require stakes to support a plant as it begins to grow. from a two- or three-week-old plant to a fully mature plant. The presently disclosed subject matter provides a machine that can aid in the planting process of both bell peppers and eggplants and similar crops, used to drive stakes into planting beds. The presently disclosed technology (such as specific robotic device or robot) can work 24/7, weather permitting, while providing an efficient and completely hands-free way to install stakes needed in the planting process.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of evaluating the performance of a trajectory planner for a mobile robot in a real or simulated scenario, comprises receiving scenario ground truth of the scenario, the scenario ground truth generated using the trajectory planner to control an ego agent of the scenario responsive to at least one scenario element of the scenario. One or more performance evaluation rules for the scenario and at least one activation condition for each performance evaluation rule are received. A test oracle processes the scenario ground truth to determine whether the activation condition of each performance evaluation rule is satisfied over multiple time steps of the scenario. Each performance evaluation rule is evaluated by the test oracle, to provide at least one test result, only when its activation condition is satisfied.
