Korechi Pik’r®

The Pik’ r® family of heavy-duty, range picking robots have been designed for large and active driving ranges. These autonomous robots help address labour shortages and rising operational costs. They integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure – no special equipment is needed. The Pik’r®-X has been designed for high-capacity picking with high versatility in mind. It can work effortlessly on steep slopes, damaged turf, and has the highest in-class safety features.

The Pik’r®-X is the newest generation of Korechi’s acclaimed range picking robots that are all-electric and run on safe and long-lasting lithium batteries. It is guided by high-precision GNSS RTK sensors with subinch accuracy. It uses five cameras with AI, and a precision laser measurement tool (LiDAR) to detect and avoid obstacles. There are no perimeter wires to be buried, and no special ball pit collectors to be installed. Use the provided APP to remotely monitor and control Pik’r®-X from anywhere in the world and schedule golf ball picking for the entire week in advance. A customised quick-disconnect rugged range picker with 2 or 3 gangs, each with a capacity of 1,200 balls, and optional auto-dumping capability is supplied with the Pik’r®-X.
