Introduction

Automating agricultural tasks such as weeding and pest control have the potential to unleash large amounts of human productivity.

Challenges

Agricultural tasks require a wide variety of manipulations, transformations, and even some object-recognition.

Approaches

Initial goal is to build a versatile general-purpose platform for solar-electric and solar-hydraulic-electric agricultural automation, with specific manipulators and tasks to follow.
