System Performance

The table below highlights the performance requirements set for the Steward:

No.RequirementMetric
1Identifies locations of seedlingsAcross 10 acres w/ 1m accuracy
2Plant Seedlings30 seedlings / hour
3Traverse LandUp to 30 degree slopes
4Avoid Obstacles10 hours without collision
5Meet Forestry StandardsFor 75% of planted seedlings
6Operate with seedlingsOf height 12-38 cm
7Returns planting locationsAt least every 30 minutes

Of these, during the spring Semester we targeted 2, 4, and 7. We also loosely targeted 1 and 3.

The following table shows the results from our Spring Testing and Spring Validation Demonstration:
