Robot One

BESCHREIBUNG

Robot One ist ein Agricultural-Robots von Pixelfarming Robotics. Er ist für Landwirtschaft ausgelegt. Eckdaten: erschienen 2024.

Robot One is Pixelfarming Robotics' autonomous laser-weeding robot for chemical-free weed control in vegetables, herbs and bulbs. A large wheeled gantry straddles the crop beds, and cameras under the frame, with bedtop lighting, recognise each plant. CO2 laser modules then fire at the plants the grower has marked as weeds, boiling the water in their cells so they burst and die. It works best on weeds at the two-leaf stage, from about 0.3 mm to 5 cm, and each laser can fire about 10,000 shots an hour. Growers train their own crop and weed models in the online Pixelfarming Academy from scan runs of their fields, so the system is not tied to fixed row spacings. Robot One drives on four electrically powered wheels at 150-1,000 m an hour, steered by GPS-RTK and connected over 4G or 5G. It runs autonomously in a tractor-like coverage pattern or by remote control. Hot-swappable batteries are topped up by roof solar panels, and an optional diesel range extender makes it a hybrid for 24/7 work. It comes in base sizes such as 3.60 m and 6.20 m, and turning the wheel units changes the track width in 20 cm steps. Its modular frame, configurable tyres and trailer transport suit spinach, babyleaf, onion, leek, chicory, fine herbs and tulips.
