This paper presents the development of a versatile mobile robot platform designed for precision agriculture. The robot’s proposed overview architecture and its manufacturing are presented while it further discusses the incorporated vision-based perception modules for road segmentation in farm environments and maize stem detection. For road segmentation, the Segment Anything Model (SAM) based on Zero-Shot Segmentation was utilized. The SAM algorithm effectively extracted navigable spaces in challenging scenarios, demonstrating its robustness and adaptability. Furthermore, considerations were made for computational efficiency, motivating future implementation on low-power devices. In the maize stem detection module, a comprehensive dataset of maize stem images obtained from a local agricultural field was created. The images were processed using the YOLOv5 model, resulting in a highly accurate and efficient maize stem detection module. The validation of both perception modules highlights the successful integration of vision-based technologies into the platform. The platform’s adaptability and robustness make it a valuable tool for precision agriculture applications. By leveraging these technologies, the proposed vehicle contributes to improving crop monitoring and management, enhancing overall agricultural practices.
