Agricultural Robotics

Agricultural robots help with tasks such as monitoring crops and treating weeds. A camera-guided machine can identify a weed and treat the spot as it moves down a crop row.

How it works

  1. Scan the crop rows

    Cameras capture images of the ground and plants ahead as the robot moves.

  2. Identify the target

    Vision software looks for the weed and estimates where it is relative to the machine.

  3. Treat the spot

    The controller activates a nozzle at the right moment to treat the selected area.
