The Precision Farming Rover (PFR) is a solar-powered, light-weight, open source robot developed to advance modern farming practices. PFRs can be used to fight climate change, help to grow healthier food in a sustainable way, and to protect farmworkers and our communities from overuse of harmful chemicals. Several versions have been built and tested, and the team at Twisted Fields is working to make full Acorn kits available for early adopters. We believe this is the best strategy to make this technology functional, low cost, and accessible to all. The automated PFR will help commercial farmers establish sustainable food production systems and mitigate conventional farming's damaging effects to the ecosystem by providing remote and continuous opportunity for crop inspection and remediation.

Functionalities and technologies
- Core Functionality : Our robot is an open source farming platform that is incredibly low cost and energy efficient. It is also reparable by the average farmer and can be adapted to just about any task, making it extremely user friendly. Our solar-powered farming robot works when the sun is shining, relieving the tractor driver with self-driving software and uses photons instead of diesel fuel, therefore resulting in a reduction of pollution and contamination of our lands and waterways.
- Software : RTK GPS, computer vision, AI
- Connectivity : Controller Area Network (CAN)
- Compatible Tools :
Development Roadmap
- Next phase : We will continue to add new applications to customize user experience.
