Monitor & supervise Pik’r™ from anywhere in the world
Pik’r™ - Heavy Duty Golf Range Picking Robots
The Pik’r™ series of advanced golf robots operate autonomously to retrieve thousands of golf balls at a driving range in a matter of hours. These rugged and powerful all-electric machines are designed to work at driving ranges that have a lot of traffic or a large area to cover, and they have industry-leading features, coverage and picking capacity.
The Pik’r robots seamlessly integrate into the range operations as they don’t require special equipment like buried wires or infrastructure changes to the facility to operate. Use the Pik’r™ Connect App to assign or schedule tasks, and monitor the robot from anywhere in the world.
They minimize the staffing needs of the facility. Workers, who are often scarce and expensive, can be redeployed to more important and fulfilling roles. Facilities have experienced improved operational safety (injury, heat, dust etc.) and employee retention as a direct result of deploying the Pik’r™. Facilities also see a reduction in maintenance and energy usage, less than $1 a day in electricity cost.
The Pik’r™ robots are designed and manufactured in Canada, and are trusted by some of the biggest names in the golf industry to automate their range picking. The Pik’r golf range picking robots are revolutionizing the golf industry by making ball picking fast, simple, and affordable.

FAQ
The Pik’r™ has multiple obstacle detection features. There are 4 cameras, one on each side, and Lidar on the front of the robot.
Regional trained dealers or direct company representatives do the installation. Mapping of the range & obstacles is done with input from the facility staff about ball density patterns, areas of the range to be avoided or any other unique aspects of your property.
The Pik’r™ can have optional ball dumping functionality. Our studies have shown that it takes less than 2 minutes to empty the baskets manually and takes about 1 minute to automatically empty the baskets (auto-dump) on select models.
Depending on the model and terrain, all models are designed to run a full work day before needing to recharge, 10-12 hours.
As the high capacity battery on the Pik’r™ has sufficient power to work an entire day, this feature is not required. The Pik’r Returns home and alerts range staff when battery is low.
4-8 hours for a complete charge depending on the model and state of charge.
Yes, the Pik’r™ models are designed to withstand hits by golf balls.
