The SprayDots is a Task oriented Automated SubSystem (TASS) capable of performing ultra high accuracy application of micro chemicals either on all green plants or selectively on weed species. SprayDots enables small lightweight robotic carriers to perform environmental friendly weed control.
SprayDots is:
•able to discriminate between weed and crops
•capable to target and apply micro volumes of herbicides on single weed plants in real-time
•able to estimate plant velocity visually and adjust herbicide application accordingly
•achieve at least 90 % savings in herbicide usage compared with conventional application methods
Status
•Prototype with a 17 cm spray width 16 nozzles (a smaller with 7cm boom width and 6 nozzles)
•Currently planning a 100cm boom with two times 100 nozzles, capable of independently applying two different herbicides
