Robocrop Precision Guided Hoes
Accurate and fast inter-row weed control!
Robocrop utilises a digital video camera to view the crop ahead of the hoe toolbar. Images from the camera are analysed at a rate of 25 frame per second by the cab mounted console. Using predetermined data relating to the crop row configuration to create a grid, the images are compared to this grid to give a best match scenario. Using this technique deviations due to weed infestations can largely be ignored.
The resulting information is used to steer the hoe via a hydraulic sideshifting hitch or steered soil engaging discs.
