Naio Technologies is building Augmented Autonomy into field robots
Naio launched Augmented Autonomy at Agritechnica in November 2023, combining geofencing with its stated CE and FCC compliance.
Naio Technologies launched Augmented Autonomy at Agritechnica in Hanover on November 13, 2023. The mode lets Naio robots work without a human operator inside approved field plots, moving the company from supervised field robotics toward bounded unsupervised work.
Naio says the autonomy is CE and FCC certified for light and heavy robots. The system uses geofencing to keep the robot inside a predefined area without fixed infrastructure, plus patented obstacle detection and certified operator training for assessing plots.
Naio was founded in France in 2011 by Aymeric Bartes and Gaetan Severac. The company has spent years building field robots for weeding and crop work, so Augmented Autonomy is less a new robot than a shift in supervision model: fewer people watching one machine at a time.
