DESCRIPTION
Pik'r-Alpha is a Mobile-Robots from Korechi Innovations. It is built for Service, Picking. Key figures: 390 kg, 720 min runtime.
Pik'r-Alpha was Korechi's first commercial range-picking robot, now discontinued. Instead of a dedicated picker it automated the existing three- and five-gang golf ball pickers already used at driving ranges, collecting up to 2,400 balls with three gangs or 4,000 with five per round. It was deployed at golf facilities across North America, from exclusive private clubs to ranges hitting up to 45,000 balls a day, and automated the practice range at the 2023 RBC Canadian Open in Toronto. It measured 2.1 x 1.4 x 0.9 m, weighed up to 390 kg, reached 7.5 km/h, covered up to 6.8 acres (2.75 ha) an hour and ran up to 12 hours on a lithium battery, with an AI camera plus physical and remote e-stops for collision avoidance and RTK GNSS navigation.
