Slopehelper

Slovenian heavy-duty autonomous tracked platform for vineyards and orchards — a full-cycle electric workhorse with 19+ hinged attachments covering mowing, mulching, spraying, harrowing, leaf removal, blossom thinning and harvest support. Suspended caterpillar tracks and gravity-stabilised cargo let it work slopes up to 42° where wheeled robots cannot go.

At a glance

Best for

Vineyards and orchards on steep terrain wanting one electric platform to replace tractor passes across the whole season: soil work, canopy work, spraying and transport.

Avoid if

You need a light, sub-€50k robot for flat ground or narrow rows — this is a 1.75 t premium platform (see Aigro UP or Vitirover for light duty).

Not suitable for

Arable field crops and vegetables; small hobby vineyards where a €100k+ platform cannot amortise.

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.
