Our solutions for agricultural robots

For us, mission planning is the logical further development of our expertise in precision farming and field planning. After all, autonomous agricultural machinery needs not only the appropriate sensors and electrics, but also an optimal and efficient route. In addition to pure navigation planning (tracks, turns, transfers, obstacle avoidance), this route must also include other attributes, so-called actions, such as target speeds or target values for controlling power take-off shafts, etc. Therefore, we have adapted our route planning specifically to the requirements of field robots and extended our range of functions to this end.

1. Calculation and optimization of the route from field entry to field exit (e.g. minimization of the total track length)
2. action planning for robotics applications (speeds, other target values)
3. all functions necessary for autonomy planned within the mission (incl. entry/exit, consideration of distances, etc.)
4. range of functions configurable according to the use cases of your robot
5. Planning functions to support various work procedures and attachment functions
6. Integration possibilities in existing web application of the robot manufacturer

For several years, our focus has been on the exciting developments in field robotics and autonomy on large fields, in addition to precision farming. Today, we are specialists in the automation of field robots. We can apply our know-how on classic agricultural machinery directly to autonomous machines and adapt it to the new applications. In addition to controlling the robot, including the exact route, we can also control the associated implement at the process level, providing autonomy for implement carriers and intelligent attachments with the highest precision for area crops.

1. Proven control software and components for agricultural robots for autonomous processing in the field
2. High-precision and proven control software for autonomous handling of intelligent ISOBUS implements
3. Import, processing and execution of pre-planned missions from navigation to individual functions

The safety aspect in particular plays a decisive role in the development of field robots. At the moment, the balancing act between safety and autonomy is a major challenge. The automatic acquisition, wireless forwarding and processing or evaluation of machine data is a fundamental component with regard to ensuring safety. LACOS offers a comprehensive solution portfolio for this, from hardware to data transmission and also in the form of an analysis tool with associated app.

1. cost-effective telematics hardware for retrofitting to any field robot' (ISOBUS, non-ISOBUS)
2. analysis tool tailored to your application including branding or interface for data transfer to your system
3. detailed data analysis (working, standing, transport times, ...)
4. precise vehicle location and theft protection through geofencing
5. comprehensive administrator system for use by your service team
