Ted

Fully electric autonomous vine straddler from Toulouse-based Naïo Technologies for mechanical under-vine weeding and soil work — GNSS RTK navigation, up to 6.5 ha/day, 600 kg tool lift, and a growing catalogue of approved implements (Clemens, Souslikoff, Boisselet, Naïo's own EVOLT intervine). Billed by Naïo as the lightest autonomous vineyard robot on the market.

Available in: France · United States

At a glance

Best for

Mid-width vineyards replacing herbicide passes with unsupervised mechanical under-vine weeding, day-long electric operation and low soil compaction.

Avoid if

Your rows are outside Ted's adjustable 142–185 cm width envelope, or you need heavy spraying capacity — Ted is a weeding/soil-work tool carrier, not a sprayer.

Not suitable for

Arable and vegetable row crops, orchards with wide canopies, barn work; very small vineyards where an autonomous straddler cannot amortise.
