Korechi

Korechi Innovations builds autonomous outdoor robots for golf course operators and farmers. The golf line, sold under the korechi.golf brand, automates the daily chore of collecting the thousands of practice balls golfers hit at a driving range: each Pik'r tows a standard ball-picker behind it and drives the range on its own. The Pik'r-X handles two and three rows of picker attachments (called "gangs" in the industry), and the Pik'r-XL scales up to four and five gangs for the busiest ranges. The newest product, Raek'r, is an autonomous bunker raker that smooths sand traps after play, debuting at the 2026 PGA Show. The farming line shares the same chassis: the wheeled RoamIO-HCW seeds and weeds row crops with an adjustable working width and 32-inch ground clearance, the tracked RoamIO-HCT cultivates and hauls material across rougher ground, and the compact RoamIO-Mini handles smaller fields. All units are electric and GNSS-guided, controlled through the Pik'r Connect mobile app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, which schedules autonomous runs, monitors fleet status, and pushes over-the-air software updates.

The commercial model is a hybrid of outright hardware purchase and bundled software-and-service. Course operators can buy a Pik'r-X starting at $35,800 or a Pik'r-XL at $45,000, or work through a third-party leasing agent on a lease-to-own structure. The Pik'r Connect app and cloud monitoring are included rather than priced as a separate subscription, so every installed unit stays connected to Korechi for fleet diagnostics, software updates, and feature releases for as long as it operates. At the highest-profile events, including the Ryder Cup, U.S. Open, RBC Canadian Open, KPMG Women's PGA Championship, and PGA Championship, Korechi operates the robots itself on the venue's range, which keeps the company in a service relationship with the host beyond the equipment sale and creates the proving ground for each new picking and raking robots-as-a-service deployment that follows.
