AgriBot HIVE
A field-oriented agricultural robotics and systems-development environment.
Project overview
A field system organized around crop handling, safety, and repeatable testing.
AgriBot HIVE is a field robotics environment built around agricultural requirements rather than generic automation. Current development connects a row-straddling base, crop-safe positioning, harvesting and packaging functions, sensing, controls, field maintenance, and documented test cycles.
Current workstreams
Current HIVE workstreams
The platform separates mobility, crop interaction, harvesting, packaging, sensing, controls, and field support so each subsystem can be tested and revised.
Dual-arm harvesting
Reach, end effectors, crop contact, placement, cycle timing, jam recovery, and damage reduction.
Integrated packaging
Transfer, sorting, container handling, fill control, product protection, and field-ready changeover.
Sensing and supervision
Localization, crop detection, environmental data, operator control, safety states, and test logging.
Project record
Evidence maintained for each development cycle
Requirements and test plans
Crop geometry, handling limits, field conditions, operator tasks, safety, and acceptance criteria.
Prototype record
CAD, electronics, software, components, fabrication, configuration, and version history.
Field performance
Cycle time, misses, damage, recovery, uptime, maintenance, environmental conditions, and revisions.
Agronomic and labor context
Effects on crops, workers, workflow, sanitation, adoption, cost, and maintenance.
