Abstract
The invention relates to a robotic weeding equipment for agriculture robotic weeding system, comprising: a plant squeezer for squeezing cultivated plants, comprising a narrowing end portion and two longitudinal sides, extending backwards from the narrowing end portion when mounted on the agriculture robotic weeding system; a plant squeezer actuator operably connected to the plant squeezer for vertical displacement of the plant squeezer when mounted on the agriculture robotic weeding system; an image recognition device for identification of weeds; and a weed treatment processing device. The plant squeezer is configured to squeeze two parallel rows of cultivated plants to increase the weeding surface between said two parallel rows of cultivated plants. The invention also relates to an agriculture robotic weeding system comprising at least one weeding equipment, preferably three weeding equipment arranged next to each other along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the agriculture robotic weeding system when operating.
