Fully Autonomous Farms
The software for Fully Autonomous Farms is conceptualized by being an everything from start to finish — including sowing, fertilizing, collecting samples and harvesting — and has been done by autonomous vehicles on the farm.
The automation software includes navigation, obstacle detection, inter-vehicle communications,vehicle control, user interface enabling the user to perform the workflow, among others.
Currently, to achieve all the required tasks in a reasonable amount of time, farmers rely on very large and heavy machines, and many times difficult no manage. They can operate and cover large areas of ground quickly, but becomes imprecise.

The software for Fully Autonomous Farms is conceptualized by being an everything from start to finish — including sowing, fertilizing, collecting samples and harvesting — and has been done by autonomous vehicles on the farm. The automation software includes navigation, obstacle detection, inter-vehicle communications, vehicle control, user interface enabling the user to perform the workflow, among others. An example of the applications of this software is in the farmer’s work, that can be able to apply fertilizers only to the plants that are doing poorly and would not waste it on those that don't need it.
With our team and the technology we develop every day, we are capable to improve the proceedings in agriculture, necessary for the world's growing population in the coming years:
We are in the process to develop the technology for Autonomous Farming Vehicles, such as autonomous tractors, which are determinant to create an ecosystem of fully autonomous farms, since all the steps of the process (fertilization, sample collection and the harvest) are made by them.
Advanced Sensors and Guidance Systems, mainly incorporated in autonomous vehicles that use GPS and automatic steering to control the course, can determine the moisture level of the ground, the progress of planting and harvesting operations, current yield, among other features.
We are working on Drones Fully-Autonomous technology, a self-charging and cloud-connected system. With this system every stage is automated, becoming crucial to monitor the field’s health and take samples of plants, allowing to know if the crop is ready for harvest or not, per example.
Likewise, we are trying to conceptualize Farming Machines, equipped with robotic technology, to guide drones and control all the machines without the need of a human operator to be present in the field.
At the same time, we are trying to incorporate this technology in Augmented and Virtual Reality.
Our goal is to help creating a world where the fields can be farmed without direct human intervention, contributing to generate precision solutions to improve the farm’s performance, proving that this is effectively possible and beneficial.
