Abstract: The invention relates to a robotic weeding equipment for agriculture robotic weeding system, comprising: a plant squeezer for squeezing cultivated plants, comprising a narrowing end portion and two longitudinal sides, extending backwards from the narrowing end portion when mounted on the agriculture robotic weeding system; a plant squeezer actuator operably connected to the plant squeezer for vertical displacement of the plant squeezer when mounted on the agriculture robotic weeding system; an image recognition device for identification of weeds; and a weed treatment processing device. The plant squeezer is configured to squeeze two parallel rows of cultivated plants to increase the weeding surface between said two parallel rows of cultivated plants.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of selectively spraying an area of a cultivated field (10) with an agriculture spraying vehicle. The vehicle comprises a spraying equipment (200) having at least one imaging system (210), and at least one trailing spray bar (300) comprising a plurality of electromechanical nozzles (310) spaced apart from each other by a constant pitch distance. The plurality of electromechanical nozzles (310) includes a corresponding plurality of nozzles (314) and of electromechanical valves (312). The agriculture spraying equipment (200) further comprises a control unit (220) including a processing unit to control the electromechanical valve (312) of each electromechanical nozzle (310).
Abstract: The invention concerns a method using a robot for an automatic treatment of a weed, the method comprises steps of capturing images of said weed with a camera on said robot; determining with said images a distance between the weed and a second vegetable organism; and selecting a treatment tool of said robot for a treatment of the weed from a group of treatment tools as function of said distance. The invention further concerns a robotic vehicle for carrying out the method for an automatic treatment of a weed.
