**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** IN THIS PROJECT, WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO DEVELOP A SMALL LOW-COST AUTONOMOUS WEED SPRAYING ROVER CAPABLE OF COMPUTER VISION BASED WEED DETECTION, COMPLETE FIELD COVERAGE, AND AUTOMATIC RECHARGE IN AN EXPERIMENTAL FIELD OF FLAX CROP. THE PROPOSED ROBOT HAS FOUR MAJOR SYSTEMS, (I) A ROBOT CONTROL AND STABILITY SYSTEM, (II) COMPUTER VISION-BASED NAVIGATION SYSTEM, (III) WEED IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM, AND (IV) HERBICIDE APPLICATION SYSTEM. THE PERFORMANCE OF ROBOT ON IN-FIELD WEED CONTROL WILL BE EVALUATED IN FLAX CROP FIELD AT TWO LOCATIONS FROM 2021 TO 2024 USING (I) ROBOTIC WEED CONTROL, (II) CONVENTIONAL WEED CONTROL, (III) HAND PICK WEEK CONTROL METHODS. IN ADDITION, ROBOT-ACTABLE SPRAY SOLUTIONS WILL BE FORMULATED, WHICH WILL LOWER THE AMOUNT OF HERBICIDE SPRAYED PER UNIT AREA OF THE FIELD AND SHOW TARGETED EFFICIENCY IN SUPPRESSING WEED GROWTH. THE TARGET APPLICATION IS HYPOTHESIZED TO MAKE WEED CONTROL IN FLAX, AND OTHER ROW CROP FIELDS FULLY AUTONOMOUS, EVEN WHEN THE SPACING BETWEEN CROP LINES IS AS SMALL AS ONE FOOT.
