The Robotanist
Rendering of the our ground based robotic phenotyping platform, designed to traverse crop breeding plots at a row spacing of 30" for over 8 hours on a single charge. This configuration includes a high resolution stereo imaging sensor with active lighting, used to obtain phenotypes such as stalk diameter, stalk count, leaf angle, as well as resistance to biotic pressure.
