What is the HV-100?



The HV-100 is designed to perform material handling tasks in unstructured outdoor areas like most of the commercial growing operations. These robots are meant to work in groups for higher efficiency and productivity. The robots work safely alongside humans and require minimal training to operate while massively reducing production cost. The size of these things is about 24 inches wide by 21 inches tall.  It can work on any temperature ranging from 32 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. It also works in the bright day light and full dark; meaning you can have 24 hour operation. Typical weather conditions don’t seem to affect them, including rain. These robots weight around 90 pounds and are able to load up to 22 pounds of weight. Under nominal conditions it can make 200 moves per hour, but the battery for each robot only last four hours and takes 8 hours to recharge or 3 hours for a quick charge. The robots use serial data capability through the use of Wi-Fi and the Ethernet to be set up for their tasks. The HV-100 tasks are:
