This autonomous agricultural robot is designed to to work in a research field at a major university. We built two of them for them and they are quite impressive.
They can be operated with a programmed route, or be controlled via 'point and click'. The latter has the operator choose waypoints on a map, and the robot navigates to it while avoiding obstacles.

Make Agronomy Great Again!
Robot farming machines are already doing the dirty work in more fields than people may realize.

Dr Simon Beard, Research Associate at Cambridge University's Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, discusses AI and agriculture with Andrew Ware.
Australian agtech company The Yield is revolutionizing farming practices by using artificial intelligence and machine learning to help growers understand data and adopt more sustainable practices.
Automation is making its way from the factory floor to the farm. A confluence of critical technologies: Robotics, AI and machine vision, are making the prospect of robots in agriculture a practical reality. Simon Jordan discusses the landscape in this video.
Simon Jordan, Robotics & Control Lead, explains how agriculture will benefit from advances in machine vision and AI.
New technologies are making huge steps forward, enabling machines to be adaptable and treat plants at an individual level by recognising shapes and texture. From counting apples and estimating yields to identifying weeds in crops, machines are getting smarter.
The number of people engaged in agriculture in Japan is decreasing, and the country's elderly population is rapidly increasing. Agricultural high-tech is one of the measures that are seen as a solution to these problems. In the midst of this, "harvesting robots" driven by AI and robotic technology are gathering attention. The idea is to leave harvesting work, which accounts for 20% of all agricultural work, to robots in order to increase efficiency. Advanced farms are already appearing that have put robots to work and are developing technology and know-how....
