AI-Powered Robot Learns to Edge, Trim Lawns Before 2024 Deployment
-
Electric Sheep Robotics has developed Verdie, an AI-powered robot for automated outdoor maintenance like edging, trimming, and blowing.
-
Verdie uses the company's ES1 AI system to learn how to handle tasks and obstacles in real outdoor environments.
-
ES1 is trained in photo-realistic simulated park environments to develop knowledge before being deployed.
-
Verdie features stereoscopic cameras, a self-balancing body, and robotic arms to maneuver tools like trimmers.
-
After successful testing, Verdie will be rolled out in 2024 to Electric Sheep's landscaping customers to work alongside human crews.
