Model Harry - Prototype Precision Planting Robot for Combinable Crops
Harry is our prototype precision planting robot for combinable crops. He is delivered to Technology Readiness Level 4. A drill punch-plants seeds at a uniform depth, making minimal soil disturbance. Harry is able to accurately record exactly where he has placed individual seeds, and feeds this data back to our AI platform Wilma.
Not all weeds are a problem, but farming has had to take broad actions to protect the crop. Dick will use Per Plant Intelligence processed by Wilma to only target pernicious weeds such as Blackgrass. We can leave weeds that have a positive impact on the biodiversity of the field without impacting yield.
Slugbot
Crop Health and Protection (CHAP), Small Robot Company, COSMONiO and AV and N Lee have joined forces on SlugBot, the world’s first robotic monitoring and bio-molluscicide treatment system for slugs.
Autonomous precision applications of nematodes is a major technological milestone which will for the first time provide a post-metaldehyde future for farmers.
