French startup Vitibot introduced the all-electric Bakus robot tractor, which is designed to care for vineyards. He is able to work on steep slopes, takes little energy and does not compact the soil, as reported on the startup website.
This drone is designed to care for the vineyard. It is planned that in the future the tractor will have more advanced functionality.
The absence of a cabin reduces the center of gravity, which allows you to inspect steep slopes. Due to its size and light weight, it consumes little energy and significantly reduces soil compaction.
The electric traction of the 4 steering wheels ensures high and precise maneuverability, which ensures perfect traction even on slopes up to 45%. Innovative algorithms use this exceptional freedom of movement to optimize trajectories and work as close to the vines as possible without damaging them.
The machine runs on lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 80 kW./h., Which are designed for 10 hours of operation. It is possible to completely restore the energy reserve by charging in 2 hours.

Bakus is able to reach a maximum speed of 6 km / h.
It is equipped with light devices and infrared vision sensors, which allows you to navigate the terrain and work even at night.
A dedicated machine monitoring service guarantees usability. At the request of the customer, Vitibot employees can remotely control their machine parks.
They will be able to find them, direct them to a new job and fix any problems, if necessary, without distracting the client.
