Overview

FarmRobo Technologies Pvt. Ltd., an agri-tech startup based in Hyderabad, is pioneering a new era of farming with India’s first multi-purpose agricultural robot, built specifically for Indian terrains and farmers’ needs. With a fully electric system and remote-controlled operation, R1 is designed for ease of use & accessibility, women-operable, capable of working 6–8 hours per charge and covering up to 4–8 acres per day. FarmRobo R1 revolutionises intercultural farming by handling weeding, spraying, and load carrying, fuel-free, labour-free, and seamless in narrow rows. Designed for Indian farms, this battery-powered, remote-controlled machine brings accessible, safe and cost-effective solutions to small and mid-sized landholders.

Autonomous & All-in-One

With RTK support, the monocular camera refines GPS for precise yaw estimation, while VisionAI enables seamless navigation with accurate row centering and turns.

Modular Design

Starts or stops with a hand raise, locking onto the first detected person with 90% accuracy. Maintains a 0.5m distance and auto-switches users after 1 minute of inactivity.

Core Functions

Trained on thousands of images, the system delivers 90% row detection accuracy with seamless adaptation. If performance dips, it re-trains in just an hour for precise, AI-driven navigation.

IOT-Enabled

Robots transmit data every 5 seconds for live tracking, performance insights, and predictive maintenance. Real-time alerts and detailed analytics ensure optimised operations and 24-hour issue resolution.
