IBEX2 is an extreme mobility autonomous weed spraying system. Unlike most previous agribots it operates on Less Favoured Areas of farm land, i.e. sheep and dairy, undulating and hilly farms, and bracken-covered moorland. IBEX2 is a self-driving tracked vehicle approximately 1m long, based on bomb disposal robots. Its software performs weed recognition from on-board cameras and terrain navigation using a suite of on-board range sensors coupled with prior knowledge from OS maps and satellite images. Software is based entirely on existing, now-standard approaches as found in commercial autonomous systems. A user group of 40 real farmers feeds back continually into the design via a series of demos and discussions. The project has no academic partners and its approach is to focus purely on producing commercial and technical feasibility studies of existing, off-the-shelf research and components as quickly and simply as possible.

IBEX2是一种高度机动的自动除草喷雾系统。不像以前的大多数农业，它在不太有利的农田地区经营，即绵羊和奶牛场，起伏和丘陵农场，以及覆盖着蕨类植物的高沼地。IBEX2是一种长约1米的自动驾驶履带式车辆，基于拆弹机器人。它的软件使用一套机载范围传感器以及来自操作系统地图和卫星图像的先验知识，从机载摄像头和地形导航中进行杂草识别。软件完全基于商业自主系统中现有的标准方法。一个由40个真实的农民组成的用户组通过一系列演示和讨论不断地对设计进行反馈。该项目没有学术合作伙伴，其方法是纯粹侧重于尽可能迅速和简单地对现有的现成研究和组成部分进行商业和技术可行性研究。
