ATOMATIKA®, agricultural robots become attractive
ATOMATIKA® is an autonomous tracked multi-tool agricultural robot produced by the Taranto-based company AGRICOBOTS in collaboration with Hymach as technical partner and manufacturer. The self-propelled vehicle is designed to optimize operations such as the dispensing of agrochemicals in complicated settings (vineyards, orchards and hilly terrain). Compact and powerful, ATOMATIKA® is equipped with a detachable platform that facilitates quick configuration changes and rubber tracks that, according to the manufacturer, ensure stability on slopes of up to 70%. The vehicle received an award from the Association for Industrial Design, and features several technologies, starting with the self-mapping and offline navigation systems which, together with VRT variable rate technology, the M.I.N.D. autonomous driving system, and its management software with simplified configuration (Play & Relax), optimize the control of the AGRICOBOTS robot. Compatible with standard tools, ATOMATIKA® is equipped with continuously variable transmission, operation from a 10” touchscreen tablet and 2.4 GHz radio control for remote control, with integrated IoT for managing agronomic data and updating the field logbook. The engine is a 2.2-liter, turbocharged, liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder Perkins with an alternator and a 12V battery for system power and electronic management. The robot's frame is made of high-strength steel, and its tracks are made of high-grip rubber with a steel core: all materials are resistant to dust, humidity and vibrations, with IP protection rating for wiring and electronic components. ATOMATIKA® has a weight of 2.4 tons, a length of 337 cm, a width of 160 and a height of 155 cm. Standing out particularly among its numerous advantageous features is its intelligent autonomous navigation system patented by the manufacturer.
