A few days ago, we demoed different tools on the Agribot in a vineyard on a small farm. We tested both a fumigation and hedge trimmer tool by strapping it on to the Agribot, and then controlled it with motion sensing technology from a cell phone. Both of these tools worked successfully, although some tweaks may be necessary for the future.

A few days ago, we could finally build a prototype of the Agribot. It's based on a wheelchair, and we removed some hardware from our previous testing car and incorporated them into our agribot prototype. 

The video below showcases the new joystick control of the Agribot.
