Lead Participant:
PRECISION DECISIONS LIMITED
Abstract
The Hands Free Hectare aims to produce the first crop in the world to be grown completely autonomously -
from establishment to harvest, no humans will enter the field. The project will modify existing farm machinery
models to utilise control systems developed from open-source data, providing a low-cost route to on-farm
machine control.
