FarmDroid - Model FD20 - Automatic Seeding & Weeding Robot
FarmDroid FD20 is a solar powered field robot that seeds and weeds. By using high precision RTK GPS, the FarmDroid FD20 marks the position of each plant at seeding and subsequently performs both inter-row and intra-row weed control. Our FarmDroid FD20 platform offers an all-in-one solution that handles everything in plant production from harvest to harvest.
HIGH PRECISION SEEDING
Our unique seeding system ensures high precision placement of each seed in the field.
INTER AND INTRAROW WEEDING
The robot will mechanically remove weed in the row and in between each plants. It can also do blind weeding before the plants germinate.
ALWAYS CONNECTED
It`s never been easier to see access your farming robot remotely and see the progress. It will also notify you if something unexpected happens when it is working on the field.
CO2 NEUTRAL OPERATION
With four solar panels, the FD20 efficiently converts sunlight into power for its two batteries. These panels boast a maximum output of 1.6 kWh. Depending on weather conditions and operational demands, this energy storage facilitates 18-24 hours of continuous work. Traveling at a steady pace of 950 metres per hour and with the capability to operate for up to 24 hours daily, the FD20 covers up to 6.5 hectares in a day.
VERSATILE
We believe that precision farming is the future for a wide range of crops, and our commitment has driven us to constantly evolve and adapt. In close partnership with our valued customers and dedicated distributors, we’ve expanded the FarmDroid’s capabilities beyond its initial design. The results speak for themselves. From our initial focus on sugar beets to the wide array of crops today, FarmDroid confidently ensures precision in both seeding and weeding.
SCALEABLE
Got more than what one robot can handle? No worries, the robot can be run as a fleet and can easily scale by adding more robots to handle your specific field size. Fields can also be transferred between droid so one could be seeding while the other is weeding.
FULLY AUTOMATIC SEEDING AND WEEDING
There is no need for monitoring FarmDroid, it is autonomous and takes care of seeding and weeding by itself using high-precision GPS technology.
Row spacing, plant distance, seeding depth as well as speed and tolerance of the robot can all be adjusted to fit the farmer’s specific crops, type of soil and individual wishes. Should anything deviate from the robot’s specific settings, it will automatically stop working and notify the farmer.
FD20 is developed to handle different crops, and you can thus use the same robot for e.g., sugar beets and onions. We have experience with many different crops, including sugar beets, onions, spinach, flower seeds, canola, and parsley, and we are continually adding more crops to the robot’s capacity. Contact us if you want to hear more about your possibilities with FarmDroid and you have a crop that you consider using an FD20 for.
