FIELD ROBOTS CATALOGUE ▶▶▶ TerraClear semi-autonomous rock picker
Manufacturer: TerraClear (USA) Robot(s): Rock picker Task(s): semi-autonomous rock picking Development start: January 2018 Pricing: as a service from US$ 150/hour Units active: a few prototypes Description: TerraClear’s semi-autonomous rock picker attaches to the front-end loader on a utility tractor or the mount-plate on a skid steer. For now, someone needs to drives it on the optimised route provided. Computer vision and AI identify rocks and control the load- ing into a bucket. The final concept (in early devel- opment) will be fully autonomous. It will navigate and plan the picking either using an optimised route based on a map, or will scout for rocks in a standard pattern using computer vision. Availability: First in Idaho and Pacific Northwest of the USA, then the rest of the USA and Canada. In- itially priced at US$ 150/h during the beta launch.
