Naïo Technologies

Corporate marketagricultureCurated record

Augmented Autonomy platform enables fully unsupervised field operation: RTK GPS (centimetre precision), computer-vision weed detection for mechanical removal, LiDAR-based safety bubble (3-LiDAR obstacle avoidance), and geofencing module. CE and FCC certified. Following 2025 judicial recovery and relaunch as SAS NAIO, strategic focus is narrowed to two core platforms: OZ (market gardening) and TED (vineyard straddler). ORIO and JO remain in portfolio but are not being actively developed or marketed under the 2026 relaunch plan.
