AI-Driven Vision and Navigation
Gus leverages an Intel RealSense camera paired with a Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano to process visual data in real-time. This setup enhances the robot’s ability to detect asparagus spears, calculate the optimal cutting path, and adjust its approach based on the plant’s specific characteristics, such as cluster formation and spear orientation. The AI system ensures high accuracy in spear selection, significantly reducing waste and improving overall yield.
Adaptable and Scalable Solutions
The modular design of Gus allows for rapid adaptation to various agricultural environments and tasks. Beyond asparagus, the system can be adjusted for other crops like daffodils and even used in different settings such as vineyards, demonstrating the platform’s versatility and scalability. This adaptability ensures that Gus remains a valuable asset across different agricultural domains and can evolve with changing industry needs.
