Description

The Selector180 drives autonomously through tulip fields. It uses AI algorithms to detect infected tulips in between the healthy ones. After an infected tulip has been detected, an internal robot will release one droplet of treatment fluid on its leaf to effectively treat the tulip without touching its neighbours.

Drive train type

Two electric motors each driving a caterpillar track via drive chains.

Characteristics

Not applicable.

Navigation system

The robot uses GPS and RTK correction, with 14 ultrasonic sensors around perimeter for obstacle detection. Yes, it can work without (sufficient) daylight because it follows a pre-defined path.
