Maintenance of electric fences is essential to keep animals secure in pasture fields. For any automatic maintenance procedure, the location of the fence needs to be known. Techniques like GNSS or visual detection come with drawbacks that make them unapplicable for the real application, as the accuracy and reliablity are not high enough to precisely track the fence.
What you will do:
- research on tracking algorithms
- implement the chosen algorithm on a microcontroller providing measurement signals of the electric field.
- Validate and test the localisation with a fence
What you should already know:
- Microcontroller Programming
- Pysics of Magnetism
- Linear Algebra
What you will deliver:
- Working prototype for localisation of electric fence
- validation and evaluation of the method
