UGVs in the vineyard
Our Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) went on a field trip to a vineyard at Orange, NSW to investigate the current state of the art in precision viticulture. Organised by the NSW Young Surveyors, and hosted by Justin Jarrett of Jarrett's Wines, the day was spent learning about the processes and data used in precision viticulture as well as demonstrating the latest surveying and robotics equipment. See our Youtube channel for a video of the day.
