SwarmFarm Robotics develops autonomous farming systems based on small, modular robotic platforms. The company works with farmers to adapt these platforms to specific field operations, including precision crop protection, mowing and slashing. Its approach is to create new farming systems around autonomous machines rather than simply automate existing tractor-based equipment.

Fonctionnalités et technologies
- Fonctionnalité principale : Built by farmers for farmers, the concept was developed on co-founders Andrew and Jocie Bate’s family farm in response to real-world challenges. The SwarmBot 5 is an autonomous, modular platform that can operate with different agricultural implements. Its confirmed applications include precision crop protection through individual weed treatment, as well as mowing and slashing on turf farms and between orchard rows. Several units can also operate cooperatively as a swarm, enabling multiple robots to work across the farm. Initially focused on broad acre farming, the technology is now expanding into horticulture, working with leading Australian companies to improve efficiency and productivity.
- Logiciel : Equipped with vision detection cameras, LiDAR, GPS, and both cellular and satellite connectivity. Features include four emergency stop buttons and a collision bumper for enhanced safety.
- Connectivité : The machine is fully autonomous and can operate via cellular (4G/5G) or satellite connectivity. Once mapped, it does not require ongoing connectivity, and no base station is needed. GPS is integrated directly into the unit.
- Outils compatibles : SwarmConnect is an open-platform design with integration capabilities for a wide range of tools, including slashers/mowers, sprayers, and seeders.
Plan de développement
- Prochaine phase de développement : SwarmFarm are extending with more Integrations with new partners in orchards, with new weeding technology and air blast sprayers.
