Robot with four wheel motor TreeRover to plant trees, have adapted to forest terrain off-road performance. In order to complete the automatic processes to plant trees, saplings trough and digging hoe, and soil compaction plate in TreeRover is almost as many. In addition, there are car electronic stability control, 3D printing gear system, assure the robots work efficiently.

You can see from the video, move a fairly flexible robot TreeRover to plant trees in the mountains, you can follow a row line, each separated by a fixed distance, planted a tree. The machine people, planting trees only consists of very simple two steps: automatically transferred the seedlings into the ground, few took to a compacted version.
