VineGuard is a concept agriculture robot for near future designed to be used as an innovative working animal. The inspiration of this project came from the fully functional insects that needed to be eliminated. This concept insect killer machine works autonomously, leaving the user to relax from fretting about their work to be done. In special cases, this vehicle will provide the information to the owner automatically. It includes heavy duty batteries that provide hours of working by using a single motor on every wheel. The spraying mechanism comprises a nozzle and a camera that provides real time detection of the grapes and spray on them accurately.

Will this add to the price of wines?
Neat idea & concept.
Cut Labor BUT Yet need Skilled Labor to Service, Program Unit for Clients alone.
Test in Napa CA & Santa Barbara CA area.
Hire some ITs for programming runs.
An article in Popular Science mentions many things like this being in the works possibly in service in the next few years to help the farmers and agriculture services. This is certainly where the future is heading, more towards robotic automation. I would hope it would still be as efficient. Considering the history of robotics, it usually is.
nice technology and very useful for agriculture but can u tell me that which type of fuel use in it i mean bio or any other
hello,
the grapes and wine price is about demand and branding, so the price doesn't really affect from the robot. it do affect the farmer – it saves him money, and keep his health.
I'm few year's ago working at National Breeding Institut of Oil Crops by name V.S.Pustovoit in Russian Federation from Krasnodar. Breeders plot to occupe small area, for what advantageous to till small machinery whan run go big tractors. This robots can be carry out all basic means. How usually weather in the field very lights and hotest, whot mean robots can used solar radiation.
