VR Cultivator

DESCRIPTION

VR Cultivator is an Agricultural-Robots from Vision Robotics. It is built for Agriculture.

The VR Cultivator is Vision Robotics' patented intelligent inline weeder-cultivator, a tractor-mounted system that uses deep-learning neural nets to find each crop plant and then drives its blades along an optimised path around it to remove weeds within the row. The company presents it as low-cost, robust and suited to farms of all sizes and a variety of crops. Instead of hydraulic or pneumatic arms with fixed stops and tractor-set speeds, each arm and blade is driven by electric motors, so the contour changes for every plant and each arm moves only as much as needed. From a tablet the operator sets the clearance around the plant, or even lets the blades pass partly under the canopy. Detection handles large, small, overlapping and partly obscured plants, plants that are not green, and doubles, and new crops can be added in as little as a day once images are collected. Each line is a self-contained module with a single power plug, wireless data and height sensors that keep the blades at a constant depth, and a full system can use any number of modules on a simple frame.
