## Summary

Xpanner has launched the X1 Piling R6 fully autonomous pile-driving robot, designed to install posts autonomously at utility-scale solar and battery storage sites under the supervision of a single operator. The system is built on the Everstar R6 tracked chassis and uses high-precision GNSS and onboard sensors to navigate autonomously to pile locations. It can drive piles up to 23 feet (7.0 meters) long to a maximum driving depth of 15.7 feet (4.8 meters), and is equipped with a 97 kW engine and a hydraulic hammer with up to 1,260 J of impact energy.
