Key Features
The Agrointelli Robotti 150D stands out with a suite of features engineered for performance and reliability in demanding agricultural environments. Its core capability lies in its fully autonomous operation, allowing it to execute pre-programmed tasks around the clock, significantly reducing the reliance on manual labor. This 24/7 operational capacity is supported by dual 100-liter diesel tanks, providing an impressive 18-24 hours of continuous field work, ensuring maximum uptime during critical farming periods.
Powering its diverse capabilities are two robust Kubota diesel engines, delivering a combined 106 kW (144 hp). Notably, one of these engines is specifically dedicated to powering the heavy-duty Power Take-Off (PTO), which is crucial for implements requiring substantial power. This dedicated PTO engine ensures consistent and reliable power delivery, enhancing the efficiency and performance of attached machinery. The robot's universal compatibility with standard three-point hitch implements further broadens its utility, allowing farmers to integrate their existing tools without extensive modifications.
Precision and safety are paramount in the Robotti 150D's design. It achieves centimeter-level accuracy (1-2 cm) in its operations through advanced RTK-GNSS navigation, complemented by LIDAR laser scanners and GNSS-based virtual fencing for precise field management. Furthermore, the robot is equipped with multiple redundant safety systems, including pressure-sensitive bumpers and emergency stop buttons, ensuring secure operation in any agricultural setting. Its relatively light dry weight of 3,150 kg, combined with its 4-wheel drive system, results in lower ground pressure compared to conventional tractors, which is a significant benefit for promoting long-term soil health by minimizing compaction.

Use Cases & Applications
The Agrointelli Robotti 150D is a highly versatile platform, designed to serve as a multi-purpose tool carrier for a wide range of intensive agricultural tasks. One primary use case involves precision seeding, where its 1-2 cm accuracy ensures optimal plant spacing and depth, leading to improved germination rates and uniform crop growth. Farmers also utilize the Robotti 150D for both mechanical and manual replacement weeding, significantly reducing herbicide use and labor requirements by accurately targeting weeds between rows.
Another critical application is precision spraying, where the robot's accurate navigation minimizes overspray and ensures that treatments are applied only where needed, optimizing input usage and reducing environmental impact. Beyond these, the Robotti 150D excels in tasks such as ridging, cultivation, and various crop care operations, adapting to the specific needs of arable and horticultural crops. Its ability to operate continuously for extended periods makes it ideal for replacing auxiliary tractors on farms, taking on repetitive or time-sensitive tasks and freeing up larger machinery and human operators for more complex work.
