SPARROW: Smart Precision Agriculture Robot for Ridding of Weeds
<|reference_start|>SPARROW: Smart Precision Agriculture Robot for Ridding of Weeds: The advancements in precision agriculture are vital to support the increasing demand for global food supply. Precision spot spraying is a major step towards reducing chemical usage for pest and weed control in agriculture. A novel spot spraying algorithm that autonomously detects weeds and performs trajectory planning for the sprayer nozzle has been proposed. Furthermore, this research introduces a vision-based autonomous navigation system that operates through the detected crop row, effectively synchronizing with an autonomous spraying algorithm. This proposed system is characterized by its cost effectiveness that enable the autonomous spraying of herbicides onto detected weeds.<|reference_end|>
