Description

Small Robot Co uses robotics and AI to make farming more efficient, sustainable and
profitable. Our Tom robot autonomously maps the entire field, collecting Per Plant data at
field scale. It builds a detailed picture of crop health and weed density. Our AI models then
create treatment maps to advise farmers on the best action to take.
– Build a detailed Per Plant picture of crop health
– Assess weed density information for no spray decisions and reduced herbicide use
– Know exactly how much nutrients crop plant needs to optimise fertiliser application
