Video clips of Tillett and Hague technology in action

 The following video clips illustrate some of the technology that we have developed in recent years.  To view a clip click on the thumbnail picture.  A brief description is provided against each thumbnail.  Further information can be found by clicking on the text link within the description.   Each video is in Windows Media File format, runs for about 30 seconds and is typically less than 6MB in size.

This experimental vision guided spot sprayer  was developed as part of a collaborative project and is shown is shown operating here in a carrot and onion crops. 

The technology behind this Robocrop within-row weeder was developed as part of a collaborative project and is shown is shown operating here in a brasica crop.

Automatic thinning of drilled crops could dramatically reduce labour requirements and trials of our prototype machines in California have been very sucessful..

Robocrop inter-row cultivators are now widely used to improve the efficiency and quality of inter-row cultivation whilst reducing driver work load.

This 12m span high work rate inter-row hoe comprises three 4m cultivator sections each with its own camera and side shifting frame enabling it to span three independent drill bouts.  It is operating in an organic cereal crop.

This 20m span high work rate vision guided band sprayer uses four cameras and four side shift sections.  Precision placement provides opportunities for more effective treatment using less material.

This autonomous vehicle represented the start of our vision guided work and was publicly demonstrated in 1996.  Guidance down rows was relative to crop rows and individual crop plants were squirted as an array of nozzles passed over them.
