About this robot

Demonstrated in 2023, TartanPest combines an Amiga electric base, a robotic arm and vision-based egg-mass recognition. The arm scrapes identified masses from surfaces to address a pest affecting grapes and other crops. This entry represents the specialized research system, rather than another listing of the base Amiga vehicle.
