Presentation 1:

Problem description Design of a system for argicultural application capable of reacting to data aquired from aerial photo's.

Objectives

The system must

       - use drones to aquire data
       - analyse the data
       - react to the results of the analysis

approach

       -research state of the art
       -abstract from state of the art
       -contact with user
       -Create model
       -analyse impact

USE aspects

       -Societal problem of hunger
       -Cheaper food for user
       -Cheaper then workers in the long run

State of the art automated argiculture

Weeding

There are some quite exciting technological developments going on in the area of automated weeding. The most important technologies will be discussed below. The first far-developed technology is the Deepfield Weeding robot of Bosch, see below.
