Hammerhead

DESCRIPTION

Hammerhead is an Agricultural-Robots from FieldRobotics. It is built for Agriculture, Spraying, Monitoring. Key figures: 1000 kg, 480 min runtime, 1000 kg payload.

Hammerhead is FieldRobotics' fully electric, autonomous tracked rover for orchards and vineyards: a modular platform that carries interchangeable implements to carry out field operations without a driver. A standard three-point hitch with a PTO, driven by a dedicated 10 kW electric motor, powers implements such as a mulcher, a sprayer and inter-row tools, and the platform can also take a bin carrier or a data-harvesting kit. Two 5 kW electric motors drive its patented tracks, and a 24 kWh battery gives up to 8 hours of work. In open fields it navigates autonomously by GPS, avoiding obstacles, while inside tree rows proprietary AI algorithms based on LIDAR keep it on track where GPS is weak or unavailable; at the end of a row it detects the headland and turns by itself, with a compact U-turn of about 2 m. It is 130 cm wide, weighs about 1 tonne, carries up to 1 tonne and travels at up to 6 km/h. It can be remote-operated over an internet connection, has a safety system with a bumper, and its sensors support on-field data collection that feeds data processing and decision-support tools for digital orchard and vineyard management.
