Naio Ted Vineyard Robot
Naio Ted is a fully autonomous vineyard weeding robot that straddles grape vine rows, performing mechanical weeding both between and under the vines. Standing 2 meters tall with adjustable width, it navigates autonomously through vineyard rows using RTK GPS and camera-based vine detection. Its intercep tools work the soil surface around vine trunks while its inter-row tools manage the row middles, all without any chemical inputs. The electric-powered Ted operates silently and emission-free, making it suitable for organic and biodynamic wine producers. Deployed across French, Spanish, and Italian vineyards, it has become a leading solution for Europe's growing organic viticulture sector.
