Hello, my name is Charlie and I am working to build a robot for fruit growers. Here is a video of an early prototype: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzl5cuP6yLY"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzl5cuP6yLY[/ame].
What do you think about this? The product is a robotic cart that follows the user, and can also return to a specified point on command. On my farm, it would be very useful for harvesting apples and grapes, and also for spreading mulch (as shown in the video) and in other tasks where I'd otherwise be jumping into/out of a skid steer to spread small bits of material or collect objects.
The cart will be built out of aluminum so will not corrode, and should weigh about 100 pounds and be able to carry 250 pounds or so (at least several bushels of apples).
Any thoughts or feedback on the idea? What might you pay for something like this?
