RoamIO-HCW

Canadian (Oshawa, Ontario) multipurpose autonomous field robot — Korechi's largest and first wheeled RoamIO model, built to seed, weed, cultivate, mow, soil-sample, data-log and transport across an adjustable-width chassis. Battery-electric with cm-level RTK GNSS navigation and dual AI-camera obstacle detection; Korechi's own product page states it is "now taking orders." Pricing is not published by Korechi itself — an independent buyer's guide lists a starting price of roughly $80,000 (final price varies by configuration) — and the company currently serves only the US and Canadian markets.

At a glance

Best for

Vegetable and horticultural growers in the US or Canada wanting one multipurpose autonomous tool-carrier (seeding, weeding, cultivating, mowing, transport, data-logging) from a small Ontario-based robotics maker that is actively taking orders.

Avoid if

You farm outside the US or Canada — Korechi states it currently serves only those two markets, and no EU sales, dealer network, or CE marking was found — or you need a widely field-proven machine with a public price list rather than a configuration-dependent quote from a small manufacturer.

Not suitable for

Farms in the EU or other regions outside the US/Canada (no service presence found); large-scale row-crop or cereal arable operations — the adjustable 47.5–75.5" width and 32" ground clearance target bedded/row-spaced horticultural crops, not broadacre farming.

Price & ROI

Price (EUR)Not disclosed
Native priceNot disclosed
Price verifiedNot disclosed
Business modelBuy, direct from Korechi Innovations (Oshawa, ON) — the RoamIO-HCW product page states "WE ARE NOW TAKING ORDERS"; contact required for a configuration-specific quote/demo, no published dealer network. Korechi publishes no price; Future Farming's buyer's guide listed a US$80,000 starting figure at a Nov-2023 exchange rate — a dated third-party data point, not a verified current price.
Ongoing costNot disclosed in detail. Optional paid add-ons found: extra battery packs, a petrol/diesel generator for range extension, an auxiliary data-logging computer, LED floodlights, and structural mounts for extra sensors/implements.
MaintenanceNot disclosed in detail — support is direct from Korechi (Oshawa, ON) by phone/email; no published dealer or authorised-service-partner network was found.

EU context

CE markingNo CE marking found — Korechi states on its own homepage that it "currently serve[s] the US and Canadian markets"; no EU sales or compliance evidence found.
EU Machinery RegulationNot placed on the EU market; would need to meet the autonomous-machinery provisions of Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 if it ever entered the EU.
AI Act relevanceWould likely be limited-risk if sold in the EU (onboard AI cameras used only for obstacle/collision detection) — not assessed by Korechi for EU compliance, as the company does not sell there.
CAP subsidyNot applicable — US/Canada-market machine with no EU sales, so no CAP eco-scheme relevance.

Aigro UP

Aigro B.V. · Netherlands

Compact Dutch autonomous robot for orchards, vineyards and tree nurseries — mows, hoes and harrows between and under tree rows. Camera-based row recognition does the in-row navigation (GPS only switches rows/fields), so it keeps working under thick foliage where GNSS robots struggle. Swappable dual 48V batteries change over in about a minute for near-continuous operation; commercial rollout in the Netherlands runs through importer Mechan.
