How does the HV-100 work?



The complex but simple robots are aware of their simple and only task of moving plants. They are able to spot groups of plants with a censor that lets them see the plants that have been setup to be moved. Then they start moving within the perimeter given by the tape on the floor that marks the boundaries for the robots and works as a guide from one group of plants to the other. These robots can then space the plants accordingly to their setup. The robots are smart enough to follow patterns and are able to spot wholes and fill them up. They can also do the opposite and move plants that have been spaced out into a consolidated space. The other task is collection; which means that the robots can just keep bringing plants and drop them off in a specific spot. For example if you were going to load up a truck with ornamental plants you would like for the HV 100’S to drop them off right at the back of the truck for you to simply load up. Lastly you are able to set up one of the robots as a leader and set up the rest to follow him and do the same task. Here is a video to get a better picture at what they do.
