Case Study: Bluewhite achieves autonomous farm vehicle control with Hailo's AI robot kit

Bluewhite powers autonomous farm vehicles with Hailo’s >10 TOPS AI kit

Bluewhite, a company providing autonomous solutions for agriculture, faced the challenge of converting existing farm tractors and heavy equipment into self-driving vehicles. This required a robust AI system capable of navigating unpredictable, changing terrain in real-time while ensuring safety and operating within the harsh thermal and power constraints of farm machinery. They turned to vendor Hailo for an AI accelerator to power this solution.

The solution implemented used Hailo's high-performance, automotive-grade AI processor. This enabled Bluewhite's retrofit kit to support a required AI workload of over 10 TOPS for critical tasks like object detection and semantic segmentation with high accuracy and low latency. The Hailo chip provided the necessary compute power with high efficiency and low heat dissipation of up to 5W, allowing the system to function reliably without liquid cooling. This empowered Bluewhite to overcome previous limitations and deliver a product that expands equipment productivity, addresses labor scarcity, and promotes a safer farm working environment.
