The RenuBot is capable of autonomous operation with the assistance of the mosaic-X5 system
Renu Robotics is a company specialising in automated vegetation management systems, and its flagship product, the Renubot 3.0, is an all-electric, autonomous robotic lawnmower designed for vegetation management at solar and energy facilities. The robot is equipped with Septentrio's mosaic-X5 GNSS module, which provides centimetre-level RTK positioning accuracy for reliable performance even in difficult environments.
Renubot 3.0 improves operational efficiency and accuracy by applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to optimise energy usage, self-diagnostics and enhanced environmental assessment.
Renubot 3.0's autonomous navigation capabilities are aided by its multi-frequency mosaic-X5 GNSS module, which provides centimetre-level accuracy and extends the robot's uptime thanks to its low-power consumption. The robot also uses stored maps and obstacle detection for fully autonomous navigation and can be task-controlled from a computer or mobile device, providing status, performance and position information.
Septentrio is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of high-precision GPS/GNSS receivers for demanding applications requiring decimetre or centimetre-level accuracy, providing reliable positioning even under difficult conditions.
The mosaic-X5 GNSS module, one of Septentrio's products, is a multi-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS receiver designed for mass-market applications such as robotics and autonomous systems. It supports all current and future GNSS satellite signals and features the unique AIM+ technology for interference suppression, ensuring optimal availability, reliability and accuracy.
Renu Robotics
Headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, Renu Robotics is led by Chief Technology Officer Michael Blanton Jr. who has extensive experience in robotics and autonomous systems. The company currently focuses on utility-scale solar power plants, and its technological capabilities are unique in the autonomous marketplace and unmatched by any other product.
More than just an agricultural robot, Renubot represents Renu Robotics' innovation in automation and artificial intelligence. It is capable of charging autonomously and updating its software when necessary to perform a wide range of maintenance functions such as mowing and vegetation control.Renu Robotics' technology typically saves solar and energy utilities 30-50 per cent, while reducing carbon emissions and improving operational efficiency.
Overall, with its Renubot 3.0 robot, Renu Robotics is demonstrating how advanced autonomous technology and artificial intelligence can be used to optimise operations and reduce costs in the solar power plant and renewable energy industries. one of the key technologies used to achieve this is the integration of the mosaic-X5 GNSS module, which provides the Renubot with precise positioning capabilities, enabling it to operate efficiently and safely in a variety of environments
