LUARI goes outdoors

LUARI got another test outside the lab. Using a precisely surveyed point for a base station and an RTK module on the robot resulted in near perfect ability to follow a winding, curving path. LUARI was first driven with a remote control to train/learn the path and then was then able to follow this path autonomously.
The plan is to move LUARI out to the agricultural research station (LUARS) next week, fly the drone to create an accurate map of our experimental plots, and then program the path for LUARI to follow in subsequent weeks.
