| FarmDroid | FarmDroid FD20 is a fully automatic, solar powered field robot that automates your seeding and plant protection. By using high precision RTK, with an accuracy of 8mm it marks the placement of the crops at seeding and subsequently performs mechanical weed control both between the rows and inside the rows. In addition, for conventional farmers, itcan also microspray and reduce the use of plant protection substances up to 94%. The unique precision at seeding makes it possible to clean the crop up close and thereby minimize, or completely eliminate, the need for manual weed control. The four solar panels on top of the robot produce power for a battery package and ensure up to 24 hours daily CO2-neutral operation. Thereby, you avoid external charging of the batteries and you can let your FarmDroid FD20 work in the field throughout the entire season. | $11.6M |  | Oct 22, 2024 |  |
