Burro, an agricultural robotics provider, and GEODNET, a blockchain company providing precise GPS positioning solutions, have entered a strategic partnership to integrate GEODNET’s real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS technology into Burro’s autonomous robots.
<p>Burro’s autonomous robots are designed for material transport in various agricultural settings, including nurseries, fields and farms. These robots utilize advanced artificial intelligence, computer vision and lidar technology to perform tasks with high precision. Integrating GEODNET’s RTK GPS technology seeks to significantly improve the robots’ navigation accuracy and operational efficiency, particularly in areas where reliable GPS coverage is crucial.</p> <p>RTK can provide centimeter-level precision, compared to the 2 m to 4 m accuracy of traditional GPS systems, GEODNET said. The increased precision reduces overlap in field operations, minimizing fuel usage and time required to complete tasks. Precise positioning enables more accurate application of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, reducing waste and improving crop yields.</p> <p>The partnership between Burro and GEODNET will allow for the provision of RTK corrections and base stations to Burro’s robots. This capability is particularly valuable in regions with limited GPS coverage. The ability to rapidly deploy new base stations offers increased flexibility for users, allowing them to expand their operations quickly and efficiently.</p> <p><p>The post <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/burro-and-geodnet-partner-to-boost-agricultural-robotics-with-rtk-gps/">Burro and GEODNET partner to boost agricultural robotics with RTK GPS</a> first appeared on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.</p></p>
