Autonomous High Precision Broadacre Seeding System
♦ Over 10 years, Thornfield Robotics has carried out pioneering research to perfect the design and development of fully autonomous agricultural vehicles with a broad range of operations, budgets and future expansions in mind.
♦ This work includes the design and development of mechanical, electrical, electronic and hydraulic systems. Additionally, Thornfield Robotics has developed complete suites of software required to integrate these systems.
♦ The technology developed by Thornfield Robotics is patented.
♦ These machines operate in three different modes:
Manual;
Remote controlled; and
Autonomous.
♦ The physical presence of a driver at the seat of the machine will result in manual operation mode.
♦ The machines can be remotely controlled using devices such as an Xbox controller.
♦ To put the machine into fully autonomous operation, roughly position the vehicle at the designated start point and use your mobile phone to launch autonomous operations.
♦ Our guidance algorithms deliver ±2 cm accuracy all the time.
♦ Speeds are precisely controlled and automatic speed control takes care of safe turns.
♦ These agricultural vehicle can operate day or night with extended hours of continuous operation.
♦ Other optional features such as, remotely accessible cameras, remote monitoring, diagnostic systems and weather stations are also available.
♦ Thornfield Robotics systems are entirely retrofittable requiring minimal capital expenditure.
♦ Please refer to our ‘Task Planner’ project to find out how easy it is to program operations.
