Agricultural autonomous vehicle platform with articulated base

This is a self-driving farm machine built to move between rows of planted crops. Its body is narrow enough to fit and is made of two sections joined by a pivot. This pivot is actively controlled, perhaps by hydraulics or an electric motor, allowing the machine to forcibly bend its body for steering or better maneuverability.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of advanced AI and sensor fusion for outdoor robotics. The intervening decade has dramatically improved the precision and reliability of autonomous navigation in complex agricultural environments.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedAutonomous navigation software, articulated chassis, active steering.
