GPS – The Digital Farmhand can navigate using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates. GPS is a satellitebased navigation system that provides time and location information to receivers on Earth. The GPS needs to be precise so the robot can run between crops. The GPS and compass combined helps the robot know where it is and what direction it is taking.

Autonomous systems – Onc e all of the parts are put together, the Digital Farmhand becomes an autonomous robot, where it can work and operate independently. An autonomous robot will gather information about the environmen t, work for an extended period of time without human intervention , move itself throughout its operating environment without human assistance and avoid situations that are harmful to itsel f or the environment around it.
