About Pathfinder
Pathfinder adds steering, actuation, RTK positioning, lidar, cameras and ultrasonic sensing to existing agricultural tractors. The retrofit supports autonomous spraying, mowing, disking and chemical-spreading operations across orchards, vineyards and other permanent crops.
Compass software assigns tasks, monitors location and operating state and allows one supervisor to manage several equipped tractors. Bluewhite has deployed the system across commercial farms and accumulated extensive autonomous operating hours. The company’s current strategy also applies its off-road autonomy stack to defence programmes.
Timeline
- Bluewhite autonomous tractor kit uses Hailo edge AI
2023-05-09 - Capability - Hailo-8 supports object detection, semantic segmentation, lane detection and pickup-orientation workloads in Bluewhite’s autonomous tractor retrofit kit. The processor keeps perception local within the kit’s constrained power and thermal envelope. The deployment targets more than 10 TOPS in an AEC-Q100 Grade 2 envelope drawing up to 5 W.
