The Goals of the Solution

• The Goals of the Solution:

  The aim of the project is to research and develop a functional prototype of a hybrid autonomous system for chemical-free weed control in row crops, between-row crops and intercrops. It is a machine-mounted implement that combines two complementary technologies in real time – a mechanical weeder and high-voltage (HV) weed control – controlled by a central AI platform using computer vision (CV) and deep learning.
