  • The MRS1000 supplies four-layer 3D LiDAR data for Trooper navigation and environment perception.
  • Trooper handles potted-plant spacing in greenhouses, tunnels and outdoor nursery beds.
  • The platform is rated for a 30 kg payload and 150–200 pots per hour, depending on container size.

INSTAR Robotics develops autonomous mobile robots for commercial horticulture. Its French-built Trooper handles the spacing, regrouping and movement of potted plants in nurseries and greenhouses, reducing repetitive manual work while operating indoors or outside.
