Agricultural Robots: Farming Smarter, Not Harder
Digital FarmHand is a robotic platform designed for smallholder farms developed by the University of Sydney’s Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR). With its advanced ability to detect and identify objects in its environment, such as plants and weeds, this robot can carry out a range of tasks, including mapping fields and collecting data on crop health and yield.
But perhaps the most significant benefit of the Digital FarmHand is its potential to revolutionize the farming industry. By automating the process of identifying and removing weeds, the robot can help farmers reduce their reliance on herbicides and other harmful chemicals, ultimately leading to cost savings and a safer, healthier environment for all.
AGRIM-X is a fully autonomous drone designed for precision agriculture developed by Suind. This cutting-edge drone uses state-of-the-art computer vision and AI algorithms to provide farmers with high-resolution images of their crops, giving them the insights they need to make informed decisions about their agricultural practices. And with its autonomous operation, AGRIM-X can navigate and collect data on its own, without any human intervention needed. This drone is also lightweight and agile, allowing it to easily maneuver through fields and capture data from multiple angles.
Vision RTK Fusion is a technology developed by Fixposition AG, a Swiss company specializing in high-precision positioning and navigation solutions. The technology combines Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning with visual sensing, enabling precise and robust alignment even in challenging environments. This allows it to function outdoor, under tree cover, in the urban canyons and in green houses and barns. The technology also offers high levels of precision, making it well-suited for applications that require accurate positioning.
