The is the largest field crop analytics robot in the world. This high-throughput phenotyping field-scanning robot has a 30-ton steel gantry that autonomously moves along two 200-meter steel rails while continuously imaging the crops growing below it with a diverse array of .
Twelve sensors are attached to the gantry system. Detailed information for each sensor including name, variable measured, and field of view are . The planned sensor missions and their objectives for 2016 are .
