Ah so what’s happening here is that our first video was entirely drone shots of the robot operating autonomously, and this video was our second video with a focus on the technical system design. Overall we’ve released three videos and two show it in autonomous operation. Just not this one! The new video that has more complex production is an 18 minute narrative video sharing the full details of our intent as well as a story which has been important for me to share for a long time. To keep it engaging I decided to shoot in a few different locations at the farm and change camera angles, but I learned that it’s just too much to attempt to do that. So future videos will be me standing in one spot reading an update while I play b-roll of whatever we’re discussing on screen. Weeding tools are going to be more complex and rely on computer vision, which requires building a data set and a lot of complex mechanics, so we want to release the system to early adopters before that. Plenty of people are interested in this, and anyone who wants to wait till we have tools is welcome to do so. It’s just going to take a while because we’re not venture funded, we’re a little open source research project. Here’s a video of autonomous operation. Also in my first link in the comment you’re replying to there’s a video showing complex multi-path following capability. Cheers! https://youtu.be/NsyEIgKVM5E https://youtu.be/NsyEIgKVM5E
