Just finished assembling our arm for ERIC! A big thanks to @SyngentaUK for the funding to allow us to get such a useful tool! Videos will be following shortly! #robotics #ThursdayThoughts #Engineering #Mechatronic

Been ages since we've given an update! We've been so busy! We had some gremlins in ERIC's electronics, which took us two days to narrow down, and then another three days to fix. Bet he's unrecognizable now! Brains to the left, body to the right. #robotics #backtowork #University

Decided to make the most of the weather and do some testing outside today! 😀🌞🌞 Unfortunately, his dodgy row-following gave us an impromptu waterproofing test. #HePassedThough #Robotics

On today’s podcast, we chat with Kit Franklin from the Hands Free Hectare. We discuss the project’s success, the inherent logic in building autonomous systems for agriculture, the efficient usage...

Eric has been keeping away from the coke line so well, we increased his speed. Video ended early, as our cameraman had to stop ERIC from crashing. #OneThingAtATime #GettingThere #Robotics

Due to recent budget cuts, our team has resorted to Aldi brand coke cans to work as our crops. #stillworksthough #testing #worldslongestcokeline #Aldi #onabudget @AldiUK

@ERIC_HAU_FR - Good luck to ERIC (& his @HarperAdamsUni student minders) in the International Field Robot Event in Germany, 12-14 June 2018. @BomfordTrust is glad we could help you with a travel grant / sponsorship to get you there.

The rules for tasks three and four have been released! (finally) We've got to pick colour coded golf tees out the ground. We're going down the robotic arm approach. Can't wait till the 10th of June to show 'em how it's done!

Spent most of last week putting ERIC back together again. Doesn't he look good with his new rear sensor? 🤩🤩 Also got some cool waterproof boxes for his electronics!

We've just finished attaching and fettling our new body shell for ERIC! He'll look even better when he's painted and covered in stickers! 🤩 🤩 🤩 #fieldrobotevent #harperadamsuniversity

Testing ERIC with some cones to serve as our maize plants. His sensors are working well to sense the crop row end! #proud #fieldrobotevent #universityprojects

Our sensors from Pepperl and Fuchs finally arrived! We attached them, and then spent 6 whole hours debugging our software (and we're still not yet done)...
