Research on 4WS Agricultural Machine Path Tracking Algorithm Based on Fuzzy Control Pure Tracking Model

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

See also the comments of the other reviewer of the numbering of Tables and sub-tables [and equations].

Abstract: The abstract can be re-casted so as to contain all key relevant information on the objectives (first), experimental material and research methods used, as well as the results obtained.

Conclusion:

Good as far as it goes, but it should [as per a recast end of the Abstract, also make a specific - and perhaps table-based - key performance indicator based comparison to existing solutions [navigation algorithms] in the field for those types of land machines

Reviewer 2 Report

The abstract is incomplete: it must contain information on the objectives, material and research methods used, as well as the results obtained.

 I recommend completing Figure 2 to validate the text and related equations.

 I recommend referring to figures, tables, and equations before they appear in the text.

 The subtitle 3.1. Simulation Analysis.....it's actually 3.5. Also, the table 1. Comparison table... is table 3.

I recommend correcting these errors and all others.

 The conclusions do not contain a comparative analysis (supported by specific data from the tables and figure) of the proposed algorithm and other existing highlighting their novel elements.
