…business' flagship products include the BiG M self-propelled high-performance mower conditioner and BiG X forage harvester. In addition, Krone said its product portfolio ranges from semi-trailers and refrigerated trailers to container chassis and the Rytle e-cargo bike. The company's machines are currently operating in more than 60 countries. “Apex.AI enables us to develop applications that are largely independent of the hardware used,” said Lemken's Nienhaus. “This accelerates the development process and reduces complexity.” Alpen, Germany-based Lemken said it has met farmers' demand for quality and innovation for 240 years. The company manufactures machines for tillage, sowing, and sustainable plant care.

…highlight easy lead-through-teaching of welding joints on a lawn mower deck, said the company. FANUC claimed that its entire series of CRX robots is reliable, flexible, and can run for eight years without maintenance. Interactive programming allows operators to teach points using hand guidance or a Tablet TP with drag-and-drop icons. FANUC CR-35iB cobot designed for strength FANUC said its CR-35iB is the industry’s strongest collaborative robot with a new 50 kg payload capacity. It also has a large work envelope and a small installation footprint to work well in tight spaces. A streamlined and lighter mechanical unit includes FANUC’s…

…their homes on a regular basis. Similarly, robotic lawn mowers are also available to buy to make garden maintenance a breeze. The self-driving future While self-driving technology is not quite readily available yet, it’s sure to be the next breakthrough in robotic and AI solutions. Self-driving taxis would eliminate the need for us to have our own cars, and we could even check our emails while on the road. Also, self-driving trucks and lorries would mean more cost-efficient last-mile delivery, allowing for shipping costs to be reduced. But we don’t have to wait around for self-driving vehicles for robotic technology…

…no longer need to sit on a manual driving mower and suffer from loud noise, dust, and mosquitoes, said XAG. In addition, the company said its HydraulicSpray accessory for the R150 allows users to rapidly assemble liquid pumps and pressure spray nozzles for crop protection in various farming landscapes. The SuperX 4 Pro Control System allows XAG R150 to drive fully autonomously for a longer duration, said XAG. Using binocular vision and MMV 4D imaging radar, it can perform auto-location of field ridges and visual tracking while automatically avoiding obstacles such as trees. Remote sensing drones offer deeper insights In…

…machine operates outdoors in an unpredictable environment, like autonomous mowers or tractors in the field, or where there’s a need to test potentially dangerous robots or vehicles during the development phase without putting their team members at risk.” “We also see situations where safe communications allow machines to operate faster—or even operate at all—when a human is in proximity, which drives machine ROI [return on investment] tremendously,” he said. Autonomy also raises a philosophical question, Reeves said. “Does society ever want smart machines to be out of the reach of a human operator, even if the machines are so smart…

…and then we said, “We don't have a lawn mower.” We came out with 15066 to give some more information, and we still have more to do about it. But I will say in putting forth the concept and trying to frame safety around it, all of a sudden, a lot of development work by robotics manufacturers and integrators occurred. The reality is, to build safety into any given sort of machine, it costs money. If a robot manufacturer has a notion that there is no market for it, why spend money on development? Let's be realistic. We don't have…

…as provide automatic control of trailed implements like plows, mowers, harrows, and sprayers. In addition, Cognitive Agro Pilot will include automated video analysis and control functions for rock mapping and assessing vegegation and damage to plants from diseases or pests. Finally, the tractor will be equipped with side-view sensors to monitor lateral areas on the move. The third phase of the project envisages a fully self-driving tractor control mode without the need for human involvement. It includes group autonomous operation with a “leader,” the movement of a group of self-driving tractors on non-public roads, and the movement of a robo-tractor…

…Current examples include iRobot’s Roomba, Husqvarna’s Automower robot lawn mower and Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus robotic pool cleaner. Smart home technology developers, however, have grander plans, in which they foresee robots growing in complexity and value. They anticipate that these machines will eventually assume such household tasks as cooking and serving meals. Social robots, on the other hand, will be the soul of home systems, providing owners with some level of empathetic interaction (Fig. 3). Fig. 3: Intuition Robotics’ ElliQ robot aims to provide older adults living alone with social companionship via multimodal interaction. This bot intuitively engages users,…
