Abstract
Embodiments include a tactile guidance system and various mechanisms for orienting and mounting the tactile guidance system on motorized vehicles such as agricultural spray vehicles. For example, a rod-shaped tactile guidance detector is positioned protruding out sideways from the inner side of each of the front wheels of a self-propelled sprayer vehicle or a tractor. The guidance system is used to detect the location of objects including crops and plants and determine a path of travel.
