FarmDroid Vision - Field Robot Gets Better with Intelligent Vision

Denmark In Danish
Project period: 2024 – 2026
Supported by: GUDP - Green Development and Demonstration Programme

In the GUDP project FarmDroid, the world’s first solar-powered field robot with a GPS-based navigation system was developed. The robot could autonomously sow and weed, which made it possible to significantly optimize sowing and weeding while reducing CO2 emissions and the use of pesticides.

Now the robot is ready for the next step, which will benefit both agriculture and the environment. This is why the project "FarmDroid Vision" has been launched. The goal of the project is to equip the robot with intelligent vision, and at the Danish Technological Institute, we are pleased to contribute to this project.

Intelligent Detection Enables New Possibilities
We will develop and test the AI-based camera system so that the robot can intelligently detect crops and weeds. The system can automatically capture and analyze images, allowing the robot to perform even better based on specific field conditions.

This offers several benefits:

  • The ability to detect, for example, if a seed has not germinated. In such cases, weeding at that specific spot can be activated, contributing to a higher yield in the field.
  • More efficient operation in crops that FarmDroid has not sown itself.
  • With its daily field operations, FarmDroid can collect data to support the development of further agricultural solutions, such as plant disease recognition.
