Mainly I like this idea and it is really amazing, but the kill method is what I don't like. I think electric charge affects the non-weeds as well. I'd try laser or microwave approach.
I think batteries on robots are already and always too small... especially working bot that already uses ton of electricity to run AI gps and rtk, camerasand sensors... using that power and drain it on a 5 cm high plant isn't ideal 🙃 without telling that the fluctuations of current from batteries will kill your hardware...
I need to find someone who can help me make a autonomous robot arm that can harvest grapes but it knows witch ones are good and bad and then it does the juicing process for me and then makes the drink so I don’t have to do anything please I want this.
So a 20.000 dollar sensor... drones can do the same and more more precisely and have a wider spectrum of uses... Drone can also do the job better than your 200x photogrammetry robot. From a 25m high it has a cm precision, from 12 m high level can have a mm precision... Flight it at a 5 meters and see how many pores there are on the leaves and the status of those(sure you would have to pay an extra 20.000 dollars for lenses) but you can sweep an hectare in 10 minutes...
@@alunno181e I agree for the both arguments but maintenance of a Drone is not a joke (way too expensive) and for the cost of a drone with that capability , you can build the rover show in the video and it can do much more than the drone and advantage of drone is that it can do certain tasks which as in data collection very quickly and precise!! saves lot of time (but while farming I think you have plenty of time.....it's not like crops are grow in a week or so....most of the crops at least take 3 months)
This project is very nice. Finally way for healthy food and nature and no for bigger and bigger production.
what would an agronomist need to program and operate this kind of robot?
Hi Adrian. You should reach out to Small Robot Company - I'm sure they'd be happy to advise:

Sure, give the exact situation now :)

Drones have higher requirements in terms of batteries capacity though. Besides, they could integrate both approaches...
