HORTIBOT

MAIN FUNCTION
Weed control
 By utilizing more advanced computer
vision navigation, a row band width of
5 cm is considered between inter and
intra-row weeding area (2.5 cm on each
side of the row center defined by plant
positions).

 Enable an automatic execution of one-

sided repetitive weeding for outdoor
gardening
How it works?
 Based on computer-vision-  The HortiBot navigate on
based guidance system the basis of computer vision
 Carry light weeding tools recognition of the
for parcels of 5-6 rows topography of the tracks
 Uses a standard and 2 m between beds.
wide weed harrow  The weed harrowing
mounted on the HortiBot procedure is repeated 1 to 3
for weeding 0 to 3 weeks weeks after seeding
before seeding which
should be approximately 1
week after bed.
 Features and Advantages
The Hortibot is about 3-foot- As the machine is light
by-3- foot, is self-propelled, and --between 200 and 300
uses global positioning system kilograms --so it will not hurt
(GPS). It can recognize 25 the soil behind it.
different kinds of weeds and
eliminate them by using its
weed removing attachments

It is also cheaper than the tools

currently used for weed-elimination
HortiBot is eco-friendly, because it as it can work during extended
sprays exactly above the weeds periods of time.
 Disadvantages

Difficult to find the spare parts since, not widely used

around the world by the farmers

Need professional operator to operate the machine
