This Robot Can Effectively Kill Weeds, Ending The Need For Herbicide Use On Crops

This Robot Can Effectively Kill Weeds, Ending The Need For Herbicide Use On Crops

BoniRob can stamp out nearly two weeds per second and has an uncanny accuracy. The German company Bosch has developed a robot capable of identifying weeds and stamping them into the ground. The scientific breakthrough is a result of research done by Bosch’s Deerfield Robotics division, Osnabrück University, and Amazone. While a green-thumbed gardener might mosey through the rows of their garden…

BoniRob - Vision-Based High-Speed Manipulation for Robotic Ultra-Precise Weed Control

BoniRob – Vision-Based High-Speed Manipulation for Robotic Ultra-Precise Weed Control

#BoniRob – Vision-Based High-Speed Manipulation for #Robotic Ultra-Precise Weed Control Developed by Deepfield Robotics, BoniRob is an agricultural robot that autonomously identifies and eradicates weeds at the rate of one per tenth of a second, considerably faster than humans and more environmentally sustainable than dumping heaps of deadly chemicals.

Bosch Bonirob robot set to make field work easier for farmers - Farmers Weekly

Bosch-funded start-up company Deepfield Robotics is the latest company to develop a field vehicle that can distinguish weeds from crops.

The technology, named Bonirob, claims that it will make plant breeding more efficient and reduce the environmental impact of crop farming.

Bonirob, which is the size of a small car, can monitor how well new crop varieties grow, whether they are resistant to pests and how much fertiliser and water they need.

It can distinguish between crops and weeds according to the shape of their leaves and then fish out weeds mechanically, rather than with herbicides.

Unwanted plants are, apparently, simply rammed into the ground with a rod.
