OleaDbot system: From precision Mapper to field assistant
Robotics in olive growing is not science fiction, but a necessity to reduce human fatigue and ensure 100% data accuracy. We develop our robotic system in two clear phases:
PHASE 1: OleaDbot-MAPPER (Ready and tested - TRL 6)
The heart of our field system is already here. The powerful Raspberry Pi 5 mapper has been successfully tested in a real environment (TRL 6 readiness level). It serves as a mobile base that passes through the olive grove, wirelessly wakes up sensors and vacuums data without the need for the internet. In a few days, we will integrate the RTK GPS module, which will allow us to map and create a digital cadastre of each of your olive trees with an accuracy of just a few centimeters!
PHASE 2: Autonomous robotic assistant (Conceptual phase)
Once the software base on the VPS, the mobile application, and the sensors work in perfect synchronicity, we will migrate the mapper to a robust, autonomous wheeled structure. This robot will serve as a physical assistant in the field – helping you carry heavy crates uphill and automatically patrolling the olive grove.
