Velodyne Lidar today announced a multi-year agreement to supply its Puck™ lidar to Renu Robotics, an industry leader in autonomous vegetation management systems. Renu Robotics' Renubot is a fully autonomous, all-electric lawn mower that helps solar and energy facilities maintain their sites for best-in-class performance while reducing costs, time and carbon emissions.
After some competitive product evaluation, Renu Robotics settled on Puck. The company found that Velodyne's Pucks have exceptional quality, reliability and performance, including the ability to significantly reduce system interference for optimal positioning accuracy. Velodyne's sensors are very efficient in terms of power consumption, which not only expands the Renubot's range but also enhances its sustainability capabilities.
Equipped with Puck sensors, Renubot enables safe, efficient, high-precision navigation and obstacle avoidance when conducting large-scale plant-level vegetation management. The mower uses lidar for on-site navigation and uses real-time kinematic differential positioning (RTK) GPS correction to keep the vehicle's position within 2 centimeters. Renubot leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enable autonomous command and control, and to familiarize and assess terrain while mowing and grooming facility sites with high precision.
Michael Blanton, CTO of Renu, said: "Velodyne's Puck sensor is an essential component for the autonomy and navigation of our robots. The energy-efficient sensor transforms Renubot into an automated vegetation management system with repeatability and reliability, allowing facilities to control costs while keeping costs in check. Maintain peak usage performance.”
"Renu Robotics is revolutionizing the way solar and energy companies approach vegetation management with sophisticated, sustainably operated autonomous lawnmowers," said Laura Wrisley, vice president of North American sales for Velodyne Lidar. "The innovative Renubot demonstrates how the Puck sensor can operate without human intervention. to support the precision and safety of autonomous vehicles without compromising. Renu Robotics is an example of Velodyne in fulfilling its mission of improving the safety and sustainability of communities around the world.”
Velodyne Puck sensors provide rich 3D computer perception data that enables real-time localization, mapping, object detection, classification and tracking to support safe navigation and reliable operations. Puck is a small and compact lidar sensor with a range of up to 100 meters. Reliability, energy efficiency, and surround view systems make it an ideal solution for affordable low-speed autonomous applications.
