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.

Nick from Stewartby Water Sports Club 1970's into the 80's??
Hi Peter Yes, that is me! Along time ago now but happy times. Nick
@@NickTillett I remember the streaker class and you won many awards. I was at school with a Neil Carter who was a member with his dad and they won trophies. I haven't heard from or seen Neil since 1987 don't know where he is. Pete.
@@peternagy-im4be I do remember Neil was very good but I have not seen him in many a year now. Hope all is well with you. Nick
@@NickTillett did you get close to the '84 Olympic squad? I recall reading about it.
@@peternagy-im4be Yes, I was in the squad and did some really interesting sailing but sadly slipped to 2nd at the trials so missed out on the main event.
Do you still sell these machines today is 12-15-22 ?
Hi Mark Yes, we continue to develop and supply the technology as a package to implement manufacturers.
@@NickTillett Thanks for replying . I asked because one of your machines sold at a auction yesterday in LaConner , Washington
Good technology how mutch machine
Wow 😲
I have absolutely loved the insight nick but sometimes a different perspective is often refreshing as it helps me grasp the concepts easier. Would it be possible to get a Tony Hague video explaining the same topic glowing regards, Gerald
I Have always wondered if we could break the limits of 20m Vision guided band spray and believe that tillet and hague will be the ones to do this
Wishing you all the best Kind Regards, Gerald
Thanks for the help. It has been of great use thanks nick
Splendid work!
This motivated me
Wow Tillett and Hague redefining the agricultural engineering space
Incredibly inciteful and inspirational. Truly impressive
Stupendous work as always!
I absolutely love this video. Great work!
What's the status of this product today? Is it commercially available?
this device came out 26 years ago

Awesome machine. I used one for many years as an inter row weeder. Saved so much time and money. Thanks for sharing
Very amazing machine,no single weed showing in plant ,salute to your recercher and mind blowing effort 👍from india.
woohooo! nice one mate
Waooo Its great.
Super 👍👍👍 we Indians need this...
Fantastic detailed video. I'm an organic farmer working on too small a scale for the Garford machines but I've always admired the system. The move to BLDC gearmotors is excellent and wise and it looks like you got everything perfect. Well done and thanks for making videos with enough technical detail.
Thanks Reid We appreciate your comments!

Excellent
Excellent technology
Wow! Truly an amazing machine!
$80k weed stirring
I need it am from Africa
You have to sell half of the continent to buy that machine...
Very nice Machine , can we use this machine for Garlic weed removing ?
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.
Thanks for your reply sir.
@@NickTillett Where is the machine sold?
@@Alibeysuleimanoglu Hi Agboola The machine in the video was made and sold by our customer Garford Farm Machinery www.garford.com who have dealers in a number of countries.
Best av seen 🙌🙌🙌
Meanwhile people in Africa and Asia die of famine
Anything to put Monsanto out of business. I live in Iowa and we can’t swim I the lakes. Disgusting.
Nice
Will it work for strawberries?
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
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.
I thought that too but I'f you look at 0:37 it has some misses, there must be some sort eye or sensor
@@chadatha5560 computer vision
Great video mate. We use a Garford robocrop for our broccolini and it absolutely amazing.
where is there information of this machine as far availability and pricing?
Look at a www.steketee.com m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/loZtpKayhNmTpMY.html
Who sells this machine and how much is it?
is this com to india
$80,000 on there site.......all i see is it moving dirt.....i would like to see it in a field with weeds and a crop....why didnt they show that if its job is to remove weeds.
Sun Henry Sole Aeration is the process of "puncturing the soil" to allow better water penetration and to introduce more oxygen into the soil. ... Aeration may also be known as soil aeration or oxygenation. A+++ 7'O"O'4 !!!! DR.1E2AA7'L"E * * *
What about corn and soybean crops
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.
Great thank you for the fast response. We are an organic farm and have some specialty crops at times. I was thinking maybe in the future if we continue to grow at the rate we are, either way I find this amazing .
@@NickTillett I need to Africa
good technology!!!!!
how much price
What is price in USD
Currently we only supply our electric in-row technology to our customer Garford Farm Machinery Ltd. They can be reached at www.garford.com/ and would I am sure be pleased to quote for your requirements.
Which camera you have used ?
The camera we used was a UniBrain "Fire-i board Pro" camera which has since been discontinued.
Wow, this is genuinely impressive
How much it would cost
This was a research vehicle and so we did not calculate the cost of production machines back in the mid 90's. An interesting question would be; is such a vehicle useful in todays agricultural production systems, and what would it be worth?
@@NickTillett yes that question is most important!
Awesome technology!
Is it available in Brasil?I'd like to know more about it.
Hi Fernando, We have not sold this system into Brazil yet. There is more information on our web site www.thtechnology.co.uk and if you would like to ask further questions you can e-mail me on [email protected]. Thanks for your interest.
really amazing to watch.
