The goal of this project is to use a Trimble
GPS system for the autonomous control of a Kubota tractor.
The GPS coordinates of the target (destination) are given and the tractor has to navigate its way
to the target.

For their senior project, the Team worked together in getting the Trimble GPS system to work with the Kubota tractor.
The equipment used in this project was part of a CSU Agriculture Research Initiative
(CSU/ARI) grant that was completed
last Fall 2005. Since then, the equipment has been transfered to the jurisdiction of the ISL.
