On the 23rd of June 2017, ACFR was invited to a Local Land Services NSW field day event to present the work they have done over the last six months on a platform called the Digital Farmhand (Previously referred to as Di-Wheel). The event generated a large amount of interest within the local farming community with over 100 registrations for the event. During the event, the team presented:
- the project overview
- the design concept of the Digital Farmhand
- plant analytics via low-cost sensors (smartphone camera)
- the future vision of the project
- live demonstration of automated row turning via low-cost sensors (smartphone camera)
- live demonstration of a farming implement (spray boom) mounted on the digital farmhand
