Collaborative project: Web-based interactive crop farming at the example of robotic weed control in vegetables (RemoteFarming.1) – Subproject 1
Project
Project code: 2815400110
Contract period: 01.10.2011
- 30.09.2014
Budget: 905,402 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
In the research project RemoteFarming.1 BoniRob - a multipurpose field robot platform - and an application for mechanical weed control in carrots are developed. However, RemoteFarming.1 is much more than the development of a single application for a field robot. It is the integration of BoniRob and application in a complex environment including web-based communication, server, web-client and a human working at a remote interface. The system incorporates mechanical weed control. Image-based sensor data is transferred via mobile networks to a remote workplace. A human worker identifies the weed by human “image processing” and the data are transferred to the field for action (RemoteFarming.1a). Based on these data image processing algorithms are developed for automatic weed control options (RemoteFarming.1b). As part of RemoteFarming.1 a new tool for intra-row individual plant weed control was developed, called tube stamp. Field trials with the tube stamp show significant weed reduction. A successful individual weed control rate of 94 % was achieved.
