Househam Sprayers Limited

ROBO-Sprayer is an ambitious program to develop the world's first self-propelled robotic crop sprayer with integrated electric drivetrain. It will place SME Househams, a leading UK manufacturer, in the vanguard of global precision sprayer technology and agricultural robotics. The project recognises urgent farmer pull for new generation of sprayers that re...

A hand held device that measures spray deposits on crops so that they can be rapidly quantified by spray operators in the field will be developed. This will enable spray operators to determine and optimise sprayer performance e.g. according to crop structure, growth and weather conditions, as well as quality assure spray applications and check for off-tar...

The project aims to develop an innovative control system for a field crop sprayer that is able to deliver accurate doses across a field with modern, large-scale equipment operating at high work rates. The work will involve quantifying the limitations in current technology, designing, developing and implementing a new control system that involves integrati...

This project aims to enable autonomous control of agricultural sprayers. This feasibility study will consider a precise and robust control system for optimising the height of the spraying booms and the spraying vehicle’s speed based on the laser-based sensing principle. The proposed system will address the shortcomings of the current, reactive ultrasonic-...
