GPS RTK Technology
Centimetre-level precision, no wires or beacons required.
Range Picker™ navigates using GPS RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) — a satellite positioning technology that delivers centimetre-level accuracy. A compact base station is installed at your facility and communicates with the robot in real time, enabling precise route following across every lane of your range.
How it works
The base station receives satellite signals and sends real-time corrections to the robot, refining its position from metres down to centimetres. This allows Range Picker™ to follow pre-mapped collection routes with consistent accuracy — no physical guides needed.
Site requirements
GPS RTK relies on a clear view of the sky. The base station and the robot both need good satellite visibility, so the system works best on open ranges. Areas close to tall buildings, dense tree lines, or covered structures can reduce signal quality. During installation, our team maps your range and positions the base station for optimal coverage.
Charging & drop-off placement
The charging station and ball drop-off point should be placed in areas with clear sky visibility and easy access for the robot. Avoid positioning them directly next to tall structures or under roof overhangs. Our team helps identify the best locations during setup, balancing GPS coverage with your range layout and workflow.
