The weed chipper, designed by agricultural engineers and researchers from LIT and The University of Sydney, uses specifically designed rapid response ΓÇÿtynesΓÇÖ, which behave like mechanical hoes, coupled with commercially available sensing technology to detect and chip out weeds. Dr Andrew Guzzomi and Dr Carlo Peressini from LITΓÇÖs School of Engineering worked closely with David Nowland Hydraulics to design the mechanical system that will now be commercialised and offered to Australian farmers by Precision Agronomics Australia.
