History
Suspended Manipulator
- Runs on solar power without CO2 emission
- Doesn't compact the soil
- Enables for more efficient use of the land
- Covers large areas
- Manipulates objects and transports goods
Possible revolution ...
- Reduce CO2 emissions
- Save water by precise irrigation
- Reduce pesticides & herbicides health risks for farmers
- Make horizontal farming competitive again
Floating robot is not a tool, but a skillful farm assistant.
Radical design
- Drones shake the plants and operate shortly
- Wheels compress the soil and slip on slopes
- Legged robots are power-hungry and expensive
With four actuators only, Floaters stand on top of the list in terms of weight, energy, and simplicity of navigation. They are most suitable for repeated tasks in large but limited work spaces.
