We are developing the technology needed to enable full farm digitisation to be accessible to all. As a platform provider, we are building the agri-robotic architecture for Agriculture 4.0.
From mapping of the farm for precision agriculture through to complex industry-leading robotic controls system at a fraction of the cost, our team does it all.

AntoMove™ - Autonomous Driving Software Stack
Advanced perception, planning, and control software, coupled with an affordable sensor set, enables robotic autonomy in the agricultural environment.
Multiple sensory fusion and mapping generates a digital twin of robot surroundings that will be used in future iterations to map its path.
AntoVision™ - Computer Vision Software Stack
Deep learning based full pipeline performs instant semantic segmentation to identify fruits and vegetables - starting with strawberries and apples - and extracts vital information in real time.
Frame to frame optical tracking in connection with robot motion provides accurate count, and depth sensing coupled with robot perception is used to create sophisticated sizing algorithms.
Long range connectivity
Dedicated long-range wireless connection for uninterrupted operations over a wide area
In-Field Base Station
Field base station providing high accuracy RTK GNSS and extension of communication range to cover fields of any size
Digital twin
Combining information from multiple sensors builds a digital twin of the farm for precise updates on crop status and insightful data visualisation
