Polibot is presented as an experimental platform for autonomous navigation in agricultural environments. The platform integrates tracked locomotion, LiDAR–IMU sensing, ROS 2 software modules, mapping, localization, path planning, and velocity-command arbitration for field operation. Experimental activities evaluate the navigation pipeline in scenarios representative of precision agriculture, where uneven terrain, repetitive crop-row geometry, and limited environmental features challenge localization and path following. The results highlight the capabilities, limitations, and future potential of Polibot as a testbed for autonomous agricultural robotics.
