Robot in the vineyard

From France, Reims startup VitiBot introduced one of its Bakus robots in 2019. Bakus is a four-wheeled autonomous straddle robot that was designed by Cédric Bache, engineer and son of a winemaker. The fully electric-powered, universal platform can navigate even narrow vine rows to perform vineyard tasks from weeding to pruning to leaf removal, and is able to work on slopes of up to 45 degrees.
