SwagBot is an omnidirectional electric ground vehicle for use on grazing livestock farms. It has a robust composite chassis and can navigate hilly terrain and agricultural obstacles such as water, mud and branches. ACFR researchers are currently focusing on the vehicle's autonomous agricultural activities so that it can monitor pastures and livestock in the future.
