ABOUT FARMDROID
FarmDroid is the world’s first fully automatic robot that can take care of both sowing and weed control. With the FarmDroid robot we help farmers and plant breeders reduce their costs of sowing and weeding and we even do it in a CO2 neutral and ecological way.
The company FarmDroid ApS was founded in 2018 by the two brothers Jens Warming and Kristian Warming together with the Danish innovation environment Syddansk Innovation A/S and the acknowledged robot expert Esben Østergaard.
So far in 2022, the FarmDroid has already seeded and weeded 18.000 hectares spread over UK, Canada and large parts of Europe.
HOW IT WORKS
FarmDroid FD20 is a solarpowered field robot. It drives wholly on energy from solar panels, which make the operation of it completely CO2-neutral. Our robot revolutionize sowing and weeding by making it climate friendly.
With GPS technology FarmDroid sows the crops in the field and marks precisely where every single crop is placed. Subsequently it performs weed control both between the rows and in the rows, securing effective, precise, and non-chemical caretaking of the field.
The unique sowing precision enables the robot to clean the crops closely, thereby minimizing or even eliminating the need for manual weed control.
The four solar panels placed on top of the robot produce power for a battery package that ensures up to 24 hours daily and CO2-neutral operation of the robot. In this way, you do not need to charge the batteries externally. You can let your FarmDroid work in the field throughout the entire season with a clear conscience.
ADVANTAGES OF
Farmdroid
FULLY AUTOMATIC SOWING AND WEEDING
of crops such as sugar beets, onions, rapeseed, spinach, and salad.
ENHANCED YIELD
extremely precise weeding ensures enhanced yield by reducing or even eliminating the need for hard, manual labor.
ACCURATE GPS TECHNOLOGY
with GPS technology it knows the exact position of every individual seed that it has sowed, therefore it does not depend on a camera for crop or weed recognition.
START WEEDING BEFORE THE PLANTS GERMINATE
as it knows the exact position of each seed, it knows where to weed without damaging the plant, and it can thus begin the weeding process before the plants have germinated.
PRESERVES THE SOIL’S MICROSTRUCTURE
because of its light weight.
AUTONOMOUS AND SELF-DRIVING
it drives by itself, so there is no need for monitoring it.
CO2-neutral operation
it runs purely on solar energy.
USER-FRIENDLY
it is easy to use and operate.
