Phone (707) 678 5533
In person interview by Joe and Jorge
We asked questions to the sales rep for Robocrop
Products:
They have two products
• Robocrop Precision Guidance for row crop cultivators. Uses a camera to shift a hitch so cultivators can cut very close to the plant rows. (This is the system that Justin bought)
• Robocrop InRow (this the one with the turning blades)
Robocrop In-Row:
• We got a flyer with some amount of technical information – wavelets and kalman filters, 25 frames per second. (why would they put this info in a flyer???). It’s posted in dropbox.
• Pictures are posted there too.
• They are buying this from UK. They are considering manufacturing steel part shere.
• They sell systems - they have sold a few systems already.
• They have a monitor that mounts in the cab that shows what the cameras see and an overlay showing if plant has been recognized.
• Each camera has a 60 inch visual range, so you need one per each 40 inch bed which contains two beds.
• Prices:
o 8 row system: $171,685 (for 4 x 40 beds)
o 4 row system: $127,325
o 2 row system: $106,479
o 15 row system: $246,816
• Support: They train for a day and then they typically support by phone. They claim it’s simple.
o Camera pointing angle seems was the main adjustment he talked about. Can be done by connecting a PC or measuring.
