…Scouting robot, the spray robot is powered by four solar panels that control the drive system and the spray system. The robot can collect data and report on crop populations, weed identification and densities, and disease identification and thresholds. In addition, it can help monitor insect identification and thresholds, nutrient deficiency identification and densities, and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Solinftec said its robots can provide layers of maps for data analysis and more useful data to the grower virtually 24/7. The Solix spray robot will provide weed spot-spray maps with analysis on inputs saved. It can service up to…
