Abstract
In this paper a small agricultural robot named Cropscout II is described. Besides the objective to participate in the annual Field Robot Event competition Cropscout II operates as a modular test bed for autonomous robot control using sensor fusion techniques and artificial intelligence. The main challenge in this aspect is to cope with the poorly structured
environment and the variation in shape, size and color of biological objects encountered in
the open field. The very flexible and modular design of the system in both the electrical and
mechanical way proofed to have many advantages. Unless some of the tasks to complete
were solved very well the final conclusion is that it is still a big challenge to build a robot for the wide variety of different and unpredictable outdoor conditions. Future research on all aspects is essential
