A System for Semi-Autonomous Tractor Operations
Tractors are the workhorses of the modern farm. By automating these machines, we can increase the productivity, improve safety, and reduce costs for many agricultural operations.

Evidence is increasing that noise may also affect man's non-auditory systems and his psychological state (4), but much less research work has been done on this subject, especially at the far...
