Autonomous Modular Vehicle to Alleviate Agriculture Labour Shortages
The multi-purpose Unmanned Ground Vehicle can be supervised in a fleet of vehicles by a single human operator. The vehicle uses a combination of vision systems and other technologies to sense the environment - to optimize tasks and allow intelligent and targeted application of inputs such as sprays. Growers will be able to rotate multiple tools on the highly adaptable and configurable agriculture platform, depending on the day's work - for jobs such as spraying, weed control, mulching, mowing and crop analysis.
