Watch the Alley Weeder work
Two hull cameras find weeds while driving; the arm camera confirms each target. Watch the oscillating diamond work from every alley to the middle of each mat, with an optional Scout prior.

Blue A: Alley Weeder · grey lines: irrigation pipes · blue rings: Scout observations · amber flags: review needed. Simulated removal does not prove field weed control.
This is simulated work, running the repository’s Python through Pyodide. The default is ⅓ acre; choose Demo for a short complete mission. Acreage excludes headlands. The layouts are for northwest Wisconsin and are not measured surveys.
Two fixed hull cameras look for weeds while the rover drives every alley, reaching to the middle of each mat. The arm camera confirms each target before plunging. Scout’s optional prior supplies additional places to inspect. Pipe-facing half-mats wait for people to move the pipe and get a separate pass.
The default oscillating diamond slices annual seedlings; the auger is a swappable alternative. A mechanical output slip clutch limits diamond shaft torque, with a trial ceiling of 2 N·m; the auger’s provisional cap is 2.5 N·m. Slip, excess load or obstruction stops the tool. These limits and weed-control outcomes need bench and field tests. Read the model, assumptions and limitations.
Metres per hour counts completed row lengths, including time spent scanning and turning. Moving time includes turns; serving includes tool work and transitions. Not detected is provisional until DONE. Arm-camera view is an illustrative view from the arm camera, not a rendered detector input. Track tread motion is illustrative but driven by each track’s signed ground distance. Diamond oscillation is illustrative at a visible rate, within the engine’s swing setting; joints and plunge follow the snapshot. Removed combines diamond cuts and auger cores credited by the engine.
Starts at 16× requested. The achieved rate depends on field size and your computer; large fields can take hours. Pause and field controls stay available while Python runs in a worker.
