This video shows the RIPPA robot working on an apple orchard in Three Bridges, Victoria, Australia. Various experimental autonomous tasks are demonstrated including:
- autonomous row following and changing rows
- autonomous real time apple detection and targeted variable rate fluid dispensing using VIIPA
These early experiments targeted fruits with water. Future experiments will target other parts of the tree with various fluids and at different stages. Applications include precision pest management, pruning, thinning and pollinating.
