New Holland reveals new autonomous R4 robot series at Agritechnica

New Holland is previewing an advanced concept at Agritechnica. The new R4 robot series is designed to help vineyard, orchard and specialty crop growers overcome sector challenges, including labour shortages and demands for more environmentally-friendly food production. “High-value crops have huge market potential, but growers face production challenges including skilled labour shortages for highly repetitive work during seasonal peaks,” says Thierry Le Briquer, grape, olive & coffee global manager at New Holland. “R4 robots have been developed to automate such jobs, boosting both efficiency and sustainability with a zero-emission solution.” The R4 robots execute repetitive, lower value tasks where accurate and safe work does not depend on human presence – jobs such as inter-row mowing or tillage.
