Description
Orio is optimised in terms of the accessibility of the toolholder to adjust the tools settings. The turning pattern is very tiny and impressive. The little soil compaction the machine creates is outstanding. Thanks to its powerful motors and the pivot point in the rear axle, the performance even in rough headlands is convincing. Naïo Technologies says it is the first manufacturer in the agricultural robotics industry to offer a 5-year warranty on its entire range.
Drive train type
The robot is battery-powered and electrically driven.
Characteristics
Orio can carry 600 kg of tools in the centred toolholder. It can drive up to 5 km/h for up to 10 h. It is powered with 4 independent motors of 3000 watts each.
Navigation system
Orio is guided by GNSS and RTK corrections via a cellular network provided from a local supplier. To bridge GNSS outages, a compass is mounted in addition to ensure accurate guidance. To plan the path, you can use the battery powered GNSS receiver, connect it via Wi-Fi with your smartphone and lock the relevant positions in your field. The perfect results can be achieved if the receiver is mounted with the magnetic socket on the seeder or planter logging the paths. Afterwards share that with your dealer or the Naïo team to create a map and upload this via USB to the robot. Obstacles are detected with the LiDAR sensor in the front and in addition with the bumpers in front/back of each wheel.
