Orchard AI Driver

The Orchard AI Driver turns grape, olive and coffee harvesters into fully autonomous orchard workers. Press H and the helper finds the plantation, plans the row route and works the entire area on its own.

Features

• Automatically detects the plantation, the first and last row, the row length and the spacing between rows
• Ensures that each harvester only works in the matching crop
• Can drive from the farm to the plantation, align itself with the first row and begin working independently
• Works every second row on the way out and the rows in between on the return trip
• Performs clean headland turns and lines up for the next row
• Lowers and activates the header in the rows, then lifts it on headlands
• Backs up and finds an alternative route if a turn is blocked; waits for obstructing vehicles
• Keeps working after the farmer leaves the cab
• Stops automatically when the tank is full or all rows are complete
• Displays the planned route on the ground: green for working and orange for turning
