FarmBot<\/strong> is an open\u00adsource and scalable automated precision farming machine and software package. Similar to today\u2019s 3D printers and CNC milling machines, FarmBot hardware employs linear guides in the X, Y, and Z directions that\u00a0allow for tooling such as plows, seed injectors, watering nozzles, and sensors, to be precisely positioned and used on the plants and soil. The entire\u00a0system is numerically controlled and thus fully automated from the sowing of seeds to harvest. The hardware is designed to be simple, scalable, and\u00a0hackable.<\/p>\n

BoniRob<\/strong> is a multi-purpose robotic platform for applications in agriculture. Its four independently steerable drive wheels and the ability to adjust its trackwidth make BoniRob highly maneuverable.\u00a0It can be run purely on batteries or connected to a generator to extend its range and usage time and\u00a0can be retrofitted and upgraded with exchangeable application modules.<\/p>\n

Blue River Technology<\/strong> was recently acquired by John \u00a0Deere. The company is building smart farm machines to manage crops at a plant-level. Their\u00a0See & Spray system is\u00a0<\/span>using computer vision and artificial intelligence to allow their smart machines to detect,\u00a0identify and make management decisions about every single plant in the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Roboception<\/strong> offers innovative solutions for navigation, real-time perception and manipulation for industrial robotic systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In agricultural robotics, the recording of dense stereo data is essential for plant recognition and navigation. Roboception provides 3D navigation without external infrastructure as well as the bridging of GPS dropouts by visual navigation.<\/p>\n
