About company
The Robovator is a robot that is equipped with a special plant detection camera above each row of crop. It has a mechanical tool (much like a hoe) which is operated by hydraulic power. The “intelligent” weeding tools are normally staying in the row but are moved out of the row when a crop plant is passing. The hydraulic components are very robust and designed for operating at high speed and long life. The specially designed plant detection cameras fitted on each parallelogram continuously monitors the passing plants. If a crop plant passes, the computer will send a signal to the hydraulic controlled tool which at the specified time will be moved out of the row. When the crop plant has passed, the tool will be moved into the row again. If there is a gap in the row e.g. one or more plants are missing, the tool will just stay in the row.
