Description
RoamIO-HCW is our largest offering and our first wheeled farming robot. It is capable of autonomously navigating fields to automate various tasks, which frees up time for the operator to simultaneously perform other tasks that can’t be easily automated. This autonomous farming mini tractor robot comes with a ground clearance of 32” and adjustable width which could be used with a variety of crops. The high ground-clearance allows access to most vegetable crops, many berries and tree nurseries throughout the growing season. The RoamIO-HCW can hold or tow tools such as mowers, weeders, seeders and dataloggers.
