The aim of the project is the further development of an existing prototype (Bonirob) for automatic weed control of organic carrots from 1-lane to 8-lane operation. In the project, the system is developed taking into account user-friendliness, area performance and costs for practical use. The prototype system with detection and destruction units is duplicated and parallelized with special consideration of the multi-module solution. To achieve area performance, user-friendliness and practical use, the OG processes the building blocks: parallelization, development of an 8-track system, which is attached to a towing vehicle and successively increased performance through IT innovations. The work on the farms takes place in three phases: start-up of the newly developed towing vehicle infrastructure, field test of the integrated overall system and evaluation of the new system in terms of quality, area performance, as well as economic and environmental aspects.
