First on-farm results indicated better performance of the Uckerbot compared with common weed hoeing strategies. The robot showed 90% accuracy of sugar beet detection and 88% weed efficiency with a drill mechanism. Further development of the robot includes enabling it to work in a robot swarm for an increase in efficiency and working speed and enabling the image recognition system to distinguish between different weed types. This will allow the Uckerbot to skip tolerable wild field herbs for increased biodiversity.enorganic sugar beetartificial intelligencefield robotagroecology conceptText/Conference Paper1617-5468
