Poster #72 GPS Automated Tractors Benjamin Mahoney Faculty Mentors: Mingrui Zhang and Gerald W. Cichanowski There is not much known about the technology of GPS automated tractors. They can be very beneficial to a farmer in many ways. The goal of this paper is to survey the studies and experiments that others have performed on GPS automated tractors. From this, we can determine how beneficial they are to a farmer and in what ways and which technology proves to be the best GPS system. The field of GPS automation has improved greatly over the past couple of decades. The latest technology of kinematic mechanics (RTK-GPS) has made GPS automation very precise when compared to previously used GPS systems. Overall, it has been found that GPS automated tractors have made field work much less labor intensive.
