PRODUCT SYNOPSIS
We've developed a solution to handle the routine and monotonous golf ball maintenance needs a person or business would generally have to hire for or do themselves. By integrating the power of Open-Source technology and our software packaging experience, G Bot sets the industry standard for an affordable prepackaged golf ball retrieving solutions. Our mission is to address the needs of autonomous maintenance systems for golf enthusiasts and businesses.
Different Tows Different Purposes
For the everyday use with small businesses requiring a workhorse robot to pick up golf balls, G Bot has been tested in a variety of different weather conditions and terrain grades. The Golf Ball Tow is capable of holding up to 500 golf balls at a time and is perfect for driving ranges or personal use.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
G-Bot is designed to be controlled via GPS map coordinates through your mobile device, remote control, or desktop portal interface. Connect directly with G-Bot's interface to manage through Bluetooth, WiFi, or Hotspot network to manage or change route planning.
USER FRIENDLY
- Choose your connection type to G-Bot; WiFi, Hotspot or Bluetooth for remote function
- Create your own custom coordinates and object classifications
- Customize your own settings; set speed limits, route duration, home return site
- Push play; watch G-Bot in action or set-and-forget
- Pair Your G-Bot With iOS & Android Mobile Devices
DESIGNED FOR RESEARCHERS AND DEVELOPERS
G-Bot leverages powerful Machine Vision algorithms, designed within Steele Robotics frameworks, with purpose-built mechanics for the ultimate user-friendly robotics experience.
OPEN-SOURCE API
- Directly access G Bot’s core capabilities to build on top of its AI platform.
- Manage the software, algorithms and hardware that govern G Bot
- Build a range of your own intuitive features or personalize your solutions.
MACHINE VISION TECHNOLOGY
HARDWARE PLATFORM
The base platform is built off Open Source hardware and NVIDIA image processing tools based off integrations with the Robot Operating System (ROS). This includes:
- Ardupilot - an API allowing use of standard Ground station and Path planning.
- NAVIO2 - Ardupilot API compatible hardware interface with Raspberry PI
BASE MECHANICS
G-Bot's base chassis is designed for multi-terrain uses. It's capable of right and left 360 degree turns to maximize your working space. It includes a 12V battery system (24V optional) and charger that can operate upwards of 6MPH (governed by parameters set in the API that you may change). Designed with a mixture of composites and stainless steel, the G-Bot can handle the rugged outdoors with ease.
