Drone-like helicopters and field robots that can automatically detect weeds are only a couple of years away, say researchers. ”We’re in the process of developing a fully automatic robotic system that can automatically detect weeds and spray them. The system works by means of small unmanned helicopters and small ground vehicles,” says PhD fellow Karl Damkjær Hansen, of Aalborg University’s Department of Electronic Systems Automation & Control.
