State of the art cylinder rotates and the tines, which are attached to the perimeter of the cylinder, create cycloid patterns on the ground. In Figure 2.4, the clycloid pattern is apparent. The novel concept is that the tines can be retracted to the interior of the cylinder, causing the tine tip to trace a smaller cycloid that avoids the plant. Each tine can be individually controlled in real time, avoiding plants detected by the guidance system. The hoe is driven by a hydraulic motor and can move vertically through the help of a custom parallelogram height control and left to right with a hydraulic side-shift system. The major disadvantage of this system, other than the geo-positioning, is the many moving parts, requiring frequent, expensive maintenance. 22 Figure 2.3 Hoeing system based on geo-referenced control of the Osnabrück hoe (1 - hydraulic motor, 2 - rotating cylinder with eight tines, 3 - parallelogram for height control, 4 - GPS antenna) (Griepentrog 2007)
State of the art Figure 2.4 Clycloid trajectories of the Osnabrück hoe for a) rotational speed is equal to the forward speed b) rotational speed is 1.25 times higher than the forward speed c) rotational speed is 1.5 times higher than the forward speed (Griepentrog 2007) The University of Wageningen in the Netherlands has also been developing an autonomous weeding robot for sugar beets (Bakker et al. 2006). Until now they have developed the autonomous navigation of the vehicle along the rows in the sugar beet field. In the near future they plan to implement an intra-row weeding system based on the previously presented mechanical device (Bontsema et al. 23
