AgroIntelli launches new long-range Robotti field robot

07-12-2021 | Field robots | News

The Robotti LR is a single engine version of the well-known Robotti field robot, utilizing space in the modules for a diesel tank of 300 l capacity. It allows the robot to operate up to 60 hours non-stop before refueling.

The new Robotti LR is based on the Robotti 150D and meets different needs, says manufacturer AgroIntelli. It was developed for more power intensive operations, requiring PTO (power take-off). Robotti LR is designed to meet the requirements of operating with standard implements for a very long time without the need of refueling, thanks to its enlarged diesel tank.

While the Robotti 150D has two motors with one motor delivering power to the PTO exclusively, the Robotti LR is just as powerful in non-PTO demanding operations, with a lift capacity of 1,250 kg.

According to AgroIntelli’s Chief Product Officer, Hans Christian Carstensen, the new long-range version is the product of many operational hours in the field and customers’ feedback throughout the years. “We have seen that farmers are requiring larger lift capacity, longer range between refueling, higher on-wheel torque and higher hydraulics capacity. All these inputs have been the base for the development of Robotti LR.”

Autonomous implement carrier

Robotti is an autonomous implement carrier, automating tasks in agriculture and horticulture. The autonomous field robot is diesel-powered. Equipped with a three-point hitch, it can be fitted with standard farm implements to perform different field tasks throughout the season. Robotti weighs less than 3.000 kg, minimizing the risk of soil compaction. Robotti is able to make a “zero-turn”– it spins around a stationary point, enabling it to turn in narrow headlands.

RTK-GPS

The field robot has a sim card and is constantly connected to GSM network. It is autonomously controlled by a computer that makes optimized route planning according to the users’ inputs. All data is cloud-based, and the robot downloads and uploads information during work. Robotti navigates with RTK-GPS technology that has an accuracy of +/- 2 cm, as known from tractors. Users can monitor the robot’s location, status about the task and live surveillance via the Robotti webpage. The current version, Robotti 150D, is operating in ten European countries.

AgroIntelli in 2021

Despite the Covid-19 crisis, which hit AgroIntelli and most of its potential customers, the company says it has gotten back on track during 2021, which is visible both in sales, but also in a range of new dealership agreements around the world. Some of them are already announced: Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Romania, France and Serbia and more are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
With Robotti LR in the portfolio, the company expects even better results in the future. “We are establishing strong representation in different markets. It is important, as seeing Robotti operating in a real-life environment is crucial for new customers. Robotti LR brings new light on what our robot already can do. With its improved capacity and new features, I expect LR to be our most sold robot in 2022,” said Chief Commercial Officer, Jakob Møhl Bebe.
