How did the Vector and Juno came along?

  •  Actially it all goes back to 1999 when the first ideas of the Discovery autonomous manure scraper came up. The navigation and steering principles of the Vector and Juno are the same as the Discovery: steering by driving left and right wheels at different speed and navigation by means of ultrasone sensor, gyroscope and odometry (counting the number of wheel turns). The Juno was the first autonomous feed push vehicle in the market. First patent filed 2006 and introduction in the market in 2008. The Vector is basicly a Juno with a feed mixer on top. The first idea was to use a concrete mixing type of mixer. However, mixing tests gave a big saucage of feed. After changing the ''concrete mixer'' by a standard mixer with vertical screw, the Vector was born. Introduced on the Agritechnice in 2012.

  • Do you know how did it works back then with patents? was it really different?
