This channel contains an assortment of videos featuring non-confidential work that we have conducted over the past 20 years in the area of agricultural automation. We have particular expertise in the application of computer vision to the control of implements for precision operations in row crops such as corn, sunflower and vegetables.
Many of the more recently added videos are tutorials aimed at Tillett and Hague Technology customers who want to set their machines up to get the best possible performance. They are referenced from our web site www.thtechnology.co.uk which also contains links to manuals and other reference material.

    Very nice Machine , can we use this machine for Garlic weed removing ?

  • @NickTillett
    @NickTillett4 жыл бұрын

    Thanks Asif. The machine needs individual crop plants to be at least 180mm apart within the crop row so that there is room for the rotary blade to move in between plants without doing any damage. This is normally achieved by accurately transplanting in crops like lettuce and the brassicas, but can also be achieved with very good precision drilling. Crops like garlic and onion are normally grown as a continuous row of closely spaced plants in which there is no space for the blade to fit between plants. However these crops can benefit from vision guided inter-row cultivation as vision guidance can allow cultivators to run much closer to the crop plant and run at higher speed than would be the case under manual control. I know that some growers have experimented with growing onions as clumps in modules and transplanted them out so that the machine can cultivate between these clumps. From a guidance perspective this is fine but I am not sure if these experiments were successful commercially. This might also work for garlic but I am afraid I cannot be sure.

  • @NickTillett
    @NickTillett5 жыл бұрын

    At the early grow stages i.e. before runners, the technique should work fine on strawberries. There may be some practical considerations relating to plant spacing within the row and distance between rows, but in principle the answer is yes.

    its good but the problem is how to plant the plants in accurate position so that this doesn't rip off the actual plants instead of weed

  • @NickTillett
    @NickTillett5 жыл бұрын

    That is the job of the vision guidance. Each rotor is individually controlled to avoid the plant but take out any weeds between the crop plants. Normal planting accuracy is fine.

  • @NickTillett
    @NickTillett6 жыл бұрын

    In principle the technology could be used on any precision planted crop at grow stages before they touch in the row or become too tall. However, the machines are relatively expensive and compared to other operations, the maximum work rate of about 5 plants per second per row is relatively slow, . In commercial practice these machines are mostly used on high value crops for which there are few alternative options that do not involve hand labour. This situation may change as weed pressures increase.
