He told us a fair few stories about it. From the video it actually worked better than I thought. :)

At 4:59 in the clip you can see what might be the hand-held control device.
Given the complexities of the task and the age of the video, it wouldn’t surprise me if the robot shear was just mimicking the movements of the contoling humans hand-held “mouse”.

That treecutter is awesome, though. I’d like to drive one, except the guys who get to do it have to cut trees all day and that would be _boooring_.

That is the worst thing I have seen for a long time.

Please tell me Hackaday didn’t put this up because they thought it was cool!

I cannot believe humans disrespect for animals sometimes!

Someone needs to BAN this.

Nothing like a bunch of inexperienced people to be critical of a process that went pretty smooth compared to what could have happened.

This shearing went pretty damn well for that sheep; a lot of shears can be rough and the sheep can get nicks in their skin that bleed for a while. It certainly went a hell of a lot faster/cleaner than non-electric blade shears would have.

Here’s a bit more info:

/has participated in sheep shearing and seen bad things compared to this. This shearing was pretty damn slow, but the way the machine kept the cutter floating above the skin was pretty awesome looking, to me.
