AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Mechanical weeding in extensive crops is challenging due to the risk of damaging plants with existing tools, and existing autonomous systems lack effective collision avoidance mechanisms, particularly in areas where herbicide use is limited.
Method used
A 3D sensor (RADAR, LiDAR, stereo camera) combined with GPS to create a map of obstacles, georeference their positions, and control the weeding tool's extension and retraction based on predetermined distance thresholds, using vehicle trajectory and speed to avoid collisions.
Benefits of technology
Enables precise, automated weeding without plant damage by accurately detecting and avoiding obstacles, optimizing tool operation and reducing manual intervention.
