In view of the difficulties in the navigation of facility agricultural equipment in a greenhouse environment, which are greatly affected by environmental factors, being difficult to navigate, and low accuracy, a magnetic navigation controller suitable for greenhouse environments is designed based on fuzzy PID (proportion integration differentiation) control and combined with the principle of magnetic navigation control in this paper. The magnetic navigation in a greenhouse environment is realised, and the installation test is carried out on the existing agricultural machinery platform. The results show that when driving in a straight line, the straightness error is controlled at ±2.5 cm m−1, and when driving on a bend, the driving deviation is controlled at ±4.5 cm m−1. Therefore, it can be considered that the magnetic navigation control method based on fuzzy PID control designed in the greenhouse environment can effectively improve the accuracy of navigation and promote the application of facility agricultural equipment to a certain extent.
