Interactive List of Agricultural Robotics Projects
This post is just announce my new list of Agricultural Robotics Groups and Projects.
Changes to our Websites
So we’re making some changes here …
The websites are being updated to a new format and some parts are being moved around.
Other Things - ML Conference Attendance
If you have noticed various Machine Learning terms being bandied about more often lately, this graph may tell part of the story.
Nut Measurement - 2021 Season Planning
For 2021 the plan is to move to an earlier sampling regime in January and also some trials testing the methodology in December.
Nut Measurement - 2020 Season

Toaster Oven Reflow Recipe
A standard toaster oven does a great job of reflow soldering. This recipe uses an unmodified oven and is a mixture of times & temperatures that I have found works very reliably.
Orchard Autonomy Pack - 2019 Mapping
Mapping and estimating location within maps is a critical prerequisite for autonomous navigation.
NIS Sorter - Initial Accuracy Testing
I have started calibrating and characterising the machine recently. The following table lists the traits I am aiming for and their current status.
NIS Sorter - System is Up!
So here is a video of the beast working, filmed in glorious shakey-cam.
