FarmDroid FD20 agricultural robot - innovations in agriculture

Originally developed for growing organic sugar beets, the autonomous platform of the FD20 Farm Droid can now handle a variety of crops, including onions, spinach, flowers, rapeseed and parsley (the list of crops is constantly expanding).

FarmDroid FD20, in addition to weed control, also performs crop sowing. This process takes place automatically, using working bodies that effectively fight weeds both in the row and in the row.

The platform is based on a high-precision navigation signal that allows the robot to accurately determine the location of each seed sown. Therefore, no additional cameras are required.

Setting up the robot is very simple: you only need to mark the contours of the field and obstacles on it (trees, power poles, etc.), select the desired number of turns, the distance between rows and plants in a row, and set the sowing depth.

Useful information:

• Spare parts for agricultural machinery.
• Spare parts for Gaspardo, Monosem, Kverneland seeders.

One robot provides a full cycle of sowing and care for 20 hectares during the season, working continuously for eight weeks until the beets grow large enough. During this period, the robot processes the field five times, working almost around the clock. Its working speed is up to 900 meters per hour, which allows it to process up to 6 hectares per day. The robot is powered by two batteries that are charged by four solar panels. The solar panels can generate up to 1.6 kWh, which is equivalent to 20 kWh per day, providing enough power for FarmDroid to operate and avoiding external battery charging. Since FarmDroid runs exclusively on electricity generated by solar panels, it operates with zero CO2 emissions!
