Figure 5.32 Report graph attained after the experiment with<br />

acceleration and deceleration <strong>of</strong> the <strong>for</strong>ward speed (|<br />

Estimated middle position <strong>of</strong> the plant; + Angular position<br />

Cumulative results <strong>of</strong> the experiments with acceleration and deceleration <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>for</strong>ward speed are shown in Figure 5.33. The cuts have a trend around the plant<br />

centre position more fuzzy than in the experiment with constant <strong>for</strong>ward speed<br />

and the uncultivated area is this time smaller dp= 32 mm. For duckfoot knife 3<br />
