Tensorfield has constructed a modular robotic platform for testing of our automated thermal weeding payload. High power requirements due to the heating of vegetable oil to weed-lethal temperatures had to be accommodated during the design phase. Full suspension and high ground clearance were key to being able to deal with the challenging terrain on our customer sites.
