#### **3. Experimental Assessment**

This section states the characteristics of the described autonomous robot with IoT and cloud computing connectivity. To achieve this purpose, the experimental field for this study is first described. Then, a test mission is defined to acquire data from the different subsystems. Finally, the system characteristics are analyzed and assessed.

The characteristics obtained are not compared with similar robotic systems due to the lack of such information in the literature. There are no published results in weeding applications; therefore, it is difficult to compare, and the indicators have been geared towards general cloud computing and mobile robotics characteristics. Therefore, crossvalidation has been carried out, comparing the features of the autonomous robot with the general performance of the robot and cloud communication. Productivity, cost, and other indicators of the presented architecture are those of the general use of cloud computing.
