摘要： In this study, the principles from Quality Function Deployment (QFD) analysis was used to carry out the solicitation, evaluation and selection of most qualified design parameters and specifications attained to a horticultural robotic tool carrier. TheQFD analysis provided a specific measure to evaluate each selected parameter to satisfy user requirements and operational performance aspects. The analysis steps in this paper focus on: 1) identifying the customers or users, 2) determining customer requirements, 3) ranking the requirements, and 4) competition benchmarking. Based on a combination of importance rating and competitive priority rating important user requirements include easy adaptation to field conditions in terms of row distance and parcel size, profitability, minimum crop damage during operation, and reliability. Lesser importance were attributed to affection value, attractive look, the possibility of out of season usage, and the use of renewable energy. The study demonstrates the feasibility of applying a systematic planning technique for translation of the 'voice of the customer" into specifications of design and technical specifications of a robotic tool carrier to be used in horticulture. Furthermore, a generalized framework for enhancing the quality of contextual design processes for autonomous vehicles in agriculture and horticulture was established.
