Autonomous tractor from Netherlands! 🇳🇱 Despite all the narrative, we are still building awesome companies in hardware space in Europe. Recently, I've posted about a Chinese autonomous tractors company. So today I wanted to show something that was created in the middle of Europe. This is a fully autonomous tractor from Dutch company @AgXeed, designed to work on fields without any human supervision. It's powered by a diesel engine that drives a generator, which then powers electric motors driving the tracks. The fuel tank allows for 24 hours of continuous operation. (nice!) The rear hitch has an 8-ton lift capacity, the front has 3 tons. It's equipped with electric PTO, hydraulic pump, and all the connections you'd find on a traditional tractor, meaning you can attach standard farm implements. (nice! x2) Safety and navigation are handled by a LiDAR sensor on top, ultrasonic and radar sensors, and contact-sensitive bumpers. RTK GNSS receiver provides positioning accuracy down to 2.5 cm. Love seeing that so many companies are trying to make farmer's life easier! What are the others companies building in agri-tech? I want to meet them! 👀 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com
