The Greenbot can also be used on golf links to cut lawns and a wide range of jobs can be performed fully unmanned.  The Greenbot breaks new ground in every respect. From a technical viewpoint, the machine has been built with the very best materials in accordance with the latest technical insights.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
