In June 2021, GUSS introduced the Mini GUSS as a compact version of its larger orchard spraying sibling.

Description:
RBRlogoMini GUSS is a smaller version of its predecessor, GUSS. The newer autonomous mobile robot is designed specifically for the spraying needs of vineyards and high-density orchards where the larger GUSS is too big to operate.

Analysis:
The original GUSS has been notable for its precision and efficiency. GUSS enabled a single operator to manage up to eight units operating in an orchard. 

Mini GUSS is smaller than GUSS, and it is refined in every detail, building on five years of real field experience with GUSS. Mini GUSS has a narrower girth and shorter stance, which allows it to operate within the tight row spacing of vineyards and many orchard crops. It doesn’t replace GUSS, and now GUSS Automation has expanded the market opportunities for its autonomous sprayer solutions.


The solutions allow farmers, growers and orchard spraying businesses the ability to lower labor and overhead costs as well as increase precision, efficiency, safety, and profitability with this autonomous machine. Mini GUSS is 6-feet wide, 5-foot 4-inches tall and 20-feet long. It has a 400-gallon tank and a 3.8-liter Cummins diesel engine to tackle the most strenuous terrain.


GUSS Automation offers two tower options for Mini GUSS: a vineyard tower for two row applications and an apple tower for high density trellised orchards. - Mike Oitzman
