==Abstract ==

In an effort to increase the productivity of modern agriculture a host of robotic
platforms and machinery has seen the light of day. This thesis explores the pos-
sibilities for developing a system that enables a small mobile robot to navigate
in crop rows using visual feedback. To increase the reusability of the software
developed, it has been implemented as a plug-in for Mobotware. It utilizes
OpenCV functions to accomplish the necessary image analysis used for navi-
gation. To control the robot a scripting language is used that contains useful
premade functionalities that can be readily applied to an array of hardware
setups. System verification is based on tests performed using the robot in an
emulated field environment.
