Description
AVO performs autonomous weeding operations in plane fields and row crops. Using cutting-edge machine learning, the robot detects and selectively sprays the weeds with a micro-dose of herbicide. The centimeter-precise detection and spraying reduces the volume of herbicide used by more than 95%, while ensuring crops are not sprayed for yield preservation.
