The Dassie robot platform is a rugged outdoor autonomous vehicle, capable of moving through rough terrain whilst carrying a heavy payload and operating for extended periods of time. It is designed to autonomously perform inspections of rows of grape vines in a vineyard. The design and testing of this system are covered in this paper.
