Robots
While robots are now capable of performing many tasks, it is not always easy. VRC's vision-based algorithms enable robots to autonomously create three-dimensional maps of unknown areas of interest whether this is mapping a building or modeling a grapevine. The maps and models enable robots to intelligently and accurate perform a myriad of tasks whether it is vacuuming a floor or pruning a grapevine. Applications have systems that perform meticulous ...

Model VR - Lettuce Thinner
The first Vision Robotics Lettuce Thinner was delivered in October 2012 and has been in operation since then. The lettuce thinner uses cameras to identify each lettuce seedling and sprays the unwanted plants to kill them. The thinner can use a variety of chemicals to kill the lettuce including fertilizer and offers several advantages when compared to manual thinning. The Vision Robotics design is highly modular, easy to maintain and configurable both at ...

Intelligent Autonomous Grapevine Pruner
The autonomous grapevine pruner spur prunes bilateral cordon grapevines with the quality of hand labor. The pruner models the full vine before making the first cut. This holistic approach enables the system to apply whatever pruning rules the operator desires. It also ensures efficient operation and quality work. The prototype pruner is in development and could be completed within 18 months depending on ...

Crop Load Estimation System
A crop load estimation system scans the plant for fruit, in this case green apples. Each apple is identified, counted and the size estimated. When looking at green apples on green trees, the "Scout" identifies greater than 95% of the visible apples with very good sizing accuracy. This prototype works best with apples at least 1.5" in diameter, but could be made to work with smaller apples. The system has been tested with oranges, pommegranites and ...

Weeding / Targeted Spot Spraying Technology
The thinner technology is applicable to weeding and other applications require vision to understand the environment and intelligently spray small areas such as weeding. The goal may be to eliminate labor in organic fields or to decrease the applied chemicals in other fields. Vision Robotics is actively seeking strategic partners to enable it to expand this technology to new ...
