A PANTHEON project robot moves through the orchard, stops and uses its camera to take images
Determining the individual needs of each plant would take humans too much time and effort, so that’s where robots could help. This prototype is being developed to move around a hazelnut orchard autonomously, taking measurements of the trees.
Renzo Fabrizio Carpio is a robotics engineer at Roma Tre University:
“We collect data with a laser scanner for 3D geometric reconstruction, and we use cameras to take multi-spectral and high-resolution images to assess the physical or health status of each tree.”
