A view through the keyhole! This is what the Intelligent Plant Scanner sees on each row of the FarmWise Vulcan robotic weeding implement. Using a foundation model, the outline and stem of each organic lettuce plant and beneficial insectary Alyssum are precisely located along with a real time speed calculation using visual odometry techniques (with a single camera!). This video was captured at a little over 1 mph but the picture looks the same in excess of 15 mph.

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹🌿 During the recent annual meeting of the Weed Science Society of America, Joe Johnson, a doctoral student at Texas A&M University, presented his research project on using a robot for weed control. He took SPOT, a robot built by Boston Dynamics, equipped it with a propane torch attached to a six-axis arm and trained it to detect common sunflowers in a cotton field. The research's results were impressive. The weeds were destroyed with a 2,642-degree flame with 97.3% accuracy. Spot did an excellent job. Although the research may seem like a novelty at first glance, using a four-legged robot like Spot offers some distinct advantages, Johnson said. For instance, compared to an autonomous wheeled robot, the robot dog is smaller and more agile, which reduces the risk of crop damage. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gEvfMGAP

"Introducing Farm Droid - The Revolutionary Autonomous Planter and Weeder! 🚀 Embrace the future of farming with this cutting-edge innovation that automates planting and weeding tasks like never before. Say goodbye to manual labor and welcome a new era of efficiency and productivity on the farm! 🌱 #FarmDroid #Innovation #FarmingRevolution"

A modern and alternative way to transform your business. Here's how Robot One revolutionizes weed removal with our 'Scan and Act' process: https://lnkd.in/eT-tFTVU 1: Sow Your Crop: Begin your season as usual.  2: Set the Example: Keep the first 100 meters (about 500 individual plants) weed-free and in optimal condition.  3: Teach Robot One: As it scans the soil, Robot One learns from your example. It identifies the plants you've nurtured and the weeds you've removed.  4: Autonomous Weeding: With your guidance, Robot One now recognizes your crop and can automatically remove unwanted weeds. It's that simple!    With your knowledge and Robot One's precision, chemical-free farming has never been easier. Join us at Agritechnica 2023!
