Zusammenfassung:A seeding robot includes a power supply, a frame, an opening device for creating a trench, a seed reservoir, and a seed dispensing apparatus configured to deposit seed in the trench from a dispense point. A pair of driven leading wheels are laterally offset to opposite sides of the dispense point. A trailing wheel is positioned behind, and aligned on a longitudinal axis with, the dispense point. The trailing wheel may serve a pressing function behind the seeding operation. Methods of autonomous seeding with such a robot are also disclosed.
