Project Description

This project seeks to develop, validate, and demonstrate an autonomous agricultural robot that can eradicate weeds with high voltage electricity and data-driven precision agrochemical application. The electric weeding technology will be optimized to achieve efficiency and efficacy levels that compete with conventional herbicide weeding.

Project Innovation

• Optimize the technology to enable the Agrobot’s electric weeding operations to achieve levels of efficiency and efficacy on par with conventional herbicide weeding in planned field trials.
• Develop commercial-ready computer vision models capable of real-time weed and crop detection and identification by the end of the project.
