A video from a presentation in Wageningen, Holland: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-815468121 7094942622 Btw. I am the guy with not so much hair :-) If you search using "Hortibot" and "Feederant" on google video, you will find a lot more fun videos.
A little tech info: The Hortibot and Feederant field robotic vehicles are controlled by a Field Robotics Embedded Computer based on a PC/104 PC running Debian Linux from a CF-Card. Sensors and actuators are handled by small embedded computers designed using Atmel AVR microcontrollers. Communication is based on the CAN bus. Technicians entry to the Hortibot is handled using Wifi and SSH. The Hortibot software (written in c) will be published under GNU license on the official homepage as soon as I can find the time to look into it.
