The robotic ball collector collects golf balls on driving ranges. Its advanced technology uses an inbuilt computer to activate 5 groups of 4 discs. This makes it possible to silently, systematically and automatically collect the range balls.
The drums are held together by tie rods and a centre axle, which allow the drum to spin on the bearings located at its ends. In operation, once the drum spins, the balls are pinched between two discs and ejected into the picker baskets.
The gang is the drum section and the frame it attaches to.The balls are pinched between the discs and. ejected into the picker baskets without having to lift a. finger.
Global robotic golf ball picker market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Autonomous golf ball pickers just made driving range operations more profitable,Korechi Innovations Inc. has developed and launched Pik’r, a robot that can automate existing golf ball pickers, reducing manual labour on busy driving ranges.
Korechi a pioneer in the agricultural robotics space, applied their knowledge from their RoamIO line of farming robots to address a need for efficiency, safety, and sustainability in ball collection within the golf industry.
Pik’r™ makes a range picker’s job less tedious and more comfortable. Deploying the robot requires minimal training and can be controlled via a joystick, a user-friendly app, or it can work autonomously.
Operators are provided with a rugged tablet computer with RoamIO-MLT software to remotely control Pik’r. Using the integrated software package, operators can view and control the live navigation of a single Pik’r or multiple units via the internet.
Pik’r saves up to 80% on labour costs for driving ranges, reduces the number of tedious tasks for range pickers, improves worker safety, and encourages better working conditions.
Equipped with artificial intelligence Pik’r can avoid obstacles in its way and as well as follow voice queries. One of its greatest benefits is the in-app calendar that enables the operator to schedule tasks ahead of time.
