The robot, equipped with an innovative energy-efficient cutting unit, is intended to autonomously maintain the undergrowth between the berry bushes. \u201cPlant care work could then be performed autonomously and even during the night. We anticipate that the manual workload for soft fruit production will be reduced significantly and that the reduction in process costs will generate greater value creation and thus make the enterprises more competitive,\u201d explained Prof. Cornelia Weltzien, coordinator of the SunBot project and head of the Engineering for Crop Production department at the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy. The specially developed smart system that can reliably detect persons and animals in the plantation in real time is being developed by HYDAC Software GmbH.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row dhsv_margin_top=&#8221;vc-margin-top-large&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2440&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2442&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autonomous tractor for berry plantations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
