…vehicle for farms big and small. The system uses GPS-denied vision navigation technologies that the company developed for the landing of the Blue Ghost spacecraft on a precise location on the Moon’s surface. The Amiga incorporates the latest in precision agriculture techniques to maximize yields while reducing workload, facilitating data collection, improving safety, and reducing soil compaction, claimed farm-ng. Farmers can adjust the system to different row widths, and it can accommodate a wide variety of add-on tools. In addition, the Amiga can be ridden or operated remotely, said the company. As the vehicle becomes fully autonomous, it will further…

…powered by GNSS—the Global Navigation Satellite System— which contains GPS+GLONASS+BEIDOU+GALILEO,” the company told Robotics 24/7. “The fundamentals of GNSS calculate the position of the receiver by mixing the distance from the satellite and receiver itself.” “RTK positioning can reduce the factors that affect the GNSS signal accuracy and achieve accuracy within the centimeter level through the double difference between the GNSS signal received by the rover— LUBA—and the reference station,” Mammotion explained. Obstacle avoidance and map app LUBA has an all-wheel drive system with in-wheel motors and rugged tires, said Mammotion. The robotic mower can traverse a variety of mowing…
