Functionalities and technologies
- Functionality : KARL is more than just a robot that pulls or pushes a piece of farm equipment. Our vision is for the equipment itself to control the drive unit. KARL is equipped with a 175hp thermal engine which powers an electric generator. The drive of the tracks and the tools is electric, this gives it many advantages in particular greater variable rotation ranges, the fact of being able to drive a rotation in both directions, or even precise monitoring of power consumption of the tool.
- Embedded technologies : - GPS - Wifi - Currently testing other technologies (LIDAR 3D, Odometry,...)
- Tools : Tillage (PTO and non PTO driven)
- Connections :
Development phase
- Next development phase : - Testing on management and communication technologies - New smart tools
