This developed robot system also saves up to 78% in the use of chemicals such as herbicides applied in weed control.

The system, which was tested in the fields in Germany last summer, has also been found to be effective in controlling weeds in horticultural cultivation.

With the sensitive camera network in the robot system, the presence and type of weeds in the area are detected, and the appropriate amount of herbicide for control is sprayed on the leaves of the weeds.

This self-sustaining robotic system works efficiently even on sloping terrain with its existing four-wheel drive feature.

Thanks to the sensitive algorithm in the system, the robot works more efficiently and more economically than traditional spray systems, even in windy weather.
