The Australian Centre for Field Robotics at the University of Sydney has built the Ladybird, an intelligent robot for the vegetable industry.
Construction and automation
In part 1, we show the construction and testing of the vehicle on a commercial vegetable near Cowra, New South Wales. The vehicle can drive autonomously up and down rows of a vegetable farm, gathering data that we think will be useful for growers to manage the farm. The Ladybird is a solar electric powered vehicle, and during our three day trip, we didn't need to charge the vehicle once.
Data and processing
In part 2, we show some examples of the types of data we obtain and how it can be processed, to provide useful information to growers.
