| Abstract | This paper outlines the development of a modular mobile robot platform that is designed to provide agricultural industries with improved capabilities around managing land and the plants/animals that are held on it. The system was designed to operate within a range of environmental conditions, as well as the idea of a modular system that could provide a range of capabilities while remaining small enough to minimize the impact on the land through soil compacting. A primary component of this robot is the navigation system, with an augmented GPS implemented to provide the local positioning for the robot. A range of on board sensors is required to provide the robot with an accurate description of its operating environment, as well as to prevent collisions with objects. To test the underlying navigation capabilities of this system, a prototype was developed using a Navman GPS module. The results of this testing indicated that the system was capable of recording a travelled path within a field and then re-navigating that path within the specified accuracies of the GPS module. Future prototype development will aid in proving the capabilities of the system, with the possibility for significant improvements within agricultural industries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
