The Génération Robots team recently visited a photovoltaic power station. We were in search of a transport system capable of carrying inverters weighing 80 kg over difficult terrain. A tiring task, undertaken at present by site employees. We chose to test the Bunker Pro mobile robot by Agilex. A heavy-duty UGV with caterpillar tracks for tackling[…]
