About this robot

ETH Zurich installed FIP in 2014 and inaugurated the research platform in 2016. A suspended sensor carrier moves above experimental plots to observe crop development without driving through them. The documented version 2.0 uses multiple RGB cameras and supports phenotyping of crops including wheat, oats, peas and soybean.
