ROMOVI - Modular and Cooperative Robot for Vineyards

Project information
The RoMoVi project has as main objective the development of robotic components and a modular and extensible mobile platform, which will allow in the future to provide commercial solutions for hillside vineyards capable of autonomously executing operations of: Monitoring, Logistics. The RoMoVi aims to develop a platform simultaneously low cost and extremely modular and versatile to be able to integrate the most diverse types of payload, both sensors and actuators. Two applications will be demonstrated through a prototype with monitoring and logistics capabilities. Development of a new vision guided navigation systems which adapt planned trajectories to the high slopes and passive mechanisms for obstacle overcoming. It will be created a robotic platform that is simultaneously low cost and extremely modular and versatile to be able to integrate all kinds of payload.
