In this work, we developed a smart and novel electric sprayer that can be assembled on a robot. The best combination is obtained on descriptor 9, which uses only three components, but descriptor 14 also has a similar result, where four components are used. Sci. Spraying is a critical operation for these vineyards since they account for about 2030% of the total annual work time of the vineyard. Nevertheless, we added two more classes to produce a more precise system to consider this middle term. Fertilizers are mainly classified as organic and inorganic fertilizers. For example, in, The ISSLA performance is shown in a demonstration video (evaluated using real images, which can be accessed at, The PRYSM sprayer performance was validated according to the size and dispersion of the water particles obtained. The authors declare no conflict of interest. By mechanization in spraying devices fertilizers and pesticides are distributed equally on the farm and reduce the quantity of waste, which results in prevention of losses and wastage of input applied to farm. 2. ; Aguiar, A.; Magalhes, S.; Santos, L.

Mechanization gives higher productivity in minimum input. This type of By meeting all these objectives we plan to develop a complete solution conventional spraying which is usually done manually. The system was tested in a real scenario in steep-slope vineyards. Steep slope vineyards represent only 712% of the total European vineyards. For example, the human and robot can work collaboratively to detect spraying targets, to increase the true positive (TP) rate, and to reduce false positives (FPs) [, Related to this humanrobot collaboration, a semi-autonomous agricultural robot sprayer was developed. With the help of live feed of spraying the farmer is expected to control the robot wirelessly from a distant place. <>>> % It would also be interesting to consider and evaluate the need for a more continuous leaf area classifier, such as a linear regression formulation for the leaf area index. and F.N.d.S. The application defines three ROIs (, We propose an approach called the image sensing system for leaf area index (ISSLA) to quantify the leaf area that needs to be sprayed.
