Agar

Agar is a self-leveling robotic platform designed for precision agriculture on uneven terrain. The platform can be operated by remote control, programmed to follow a set GPS path, or run autonomously using obstacle avoidance sensors. Independent battery powered motors on each wheel allow turning in place. The wheels can be repositioned to suit different crop row distances, and the platform adapts to slopes of up to 30 degrees. Emergency stop buttons and mechanical bumpers support user safety. Steel, stainless steel and aluminium parts are powder coated.

Ossed

As Leonardo Da Vinci said, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. The collector called Ossed, on the contrary to common perception, collects the fruits or autumn leaves as a safety net before they fall on the ground. Instead of human effort it utilizes the power of nature such as gravitation, wind, rain, freeze and warmth of the sunshine. This collector enables to harvest the ripe fruit continuously in every weather. The fruits are protected not only from fall damages, but also from molds, bugs and worms.

Flower

Flower is a protective device for the roots of flower seedlings during transplanting. The roots and stems of flowers are easily damaged by external forces, which reduces yield and causes economic losses for farmers. Flower is made of polylactic acid plastic by injection molding. The ball shaped lower part shields the main root from farm tools and rodents. Two parts are joined by a simple bayonet connection. A protruding neck gives a grip, so grown flowers can be pulled from the soil without direct hand contact with the stems. Sizes match different flowers.

Scarecrow

Scarecrow is a plant protection drone designed for farmland use. The drone completes spraying operations and returns to its base through program control. An eight axis redundant design and an adaptive power protection algorithm allow safe flight even if one axis fails. A sound system plays bird calls to move birds away from the fields without harming them. The main frame is made of carbon fiber, the link parts are 3D printed titanium alloy, and the rotors are injection molded. The rotors also collect wind energy for self charging while the drone waits.
