Frogs display a remarkable diversity of species as a whole, but does the same hold true for their visual abilities? Researchers examined the frog visual system by looking at the visual pigments and other genes in the eyes of a diverse selection of frogs living in vastly different light environments.

AgBot II: A New Generation Tool for Robotic Site-Specific Crop and Weed Management

QUT's AgBot II prototype is equipped with cameras, sensors and software and is designed to work in autonomous groups to navigate, detect and classify weeds and manage them either chemically or mechanically as well as apply fertilizer for site specific crop management. AgBot II is currently being trialed in the field.
