The Burdekin agriculture community gathered to experience the future of farming recently as Sugar Research Australia (SRA) hosted a demonstration of Robotti, a Danish developed autonomous farm vehicle.
The Robboti has been imported by Bundaberg company Farm Concepts and is designed for precision operations such as seeding, weeding and spraying, as displayed by Farm Concepts Director Braden Hellmuth and SRA District Manager Terry Granshaw in a cane field at the SRA’s Burdekin Station, Brandon yesterday, Wednesday, January 15.
Mr Hellmuth demonstrated the vehicle and its capabilities of both the hardware and software.
The machine can operate 24/7 without a driver, solely guided by GPS and cameras.
Robboti, the creation of Danish field robotics company Agrointelli, is in operation on farms throughout Europe and around the world and was first imported to Australia in 2022.
“Automation is growing significantly in Australia and agriculture is an important sector in the country,” said Agrointelli CCO Jakob Bebe at the time.
“Robboti can play a significant role in automating the agricultural processes and therefore, we see Australia as an interesting market.”
