Sugarbeet RaaS

Our First RaaS Project

In 2023 we delivered our first Robotics-as-a-Service project in sugar beet, successfully managing 150 hectares. Operations included drilling, weeding, and band spraying, proving that robotics could integrate smoothly into commercial farming while reducing labour pressure and maintaining precision.

In 2024 we expanded to 160 hectares, refining our approach with improved spraying and the addition of liquid fertiliser injection during drilling. These projects demonstrated the real value of RaaS in sugar beet and gave us key insights into planning, timing, and machine utilisation that now shape future deployments.
Over 1000 Ha driven by one Robotti!

Broccoli harvest

UK's First Fully Autonomous Trial

In 2022 we completed the UK's first fully autonomous broccoli harvest by integrating the Roboveg harvester onto the Robotti platform. This was a conceptual project designed to explore the possibilities of systems integration, combining specialist harvesting technology with autonomous robotics.

While not a commercial deployment, the trial proved invaluable for AAS. It provided strong learning in machine integration, system compatibility, and operational workflow, while also creating one of the clearest examples of how multiple technologies can be combined to deliver full autonomy in the field.

Drone mapping

In 2025 we began a new project focused on integrating drone mapping into everyday farm operations. Working directly with a farmer, alongside Pix4D, we are developing our own bespoke software to turn aerial data into actionable insights.

Using the DJI M3M Enterprise with RTK precision, we can map fields quickly and accurately, gathering detailed data on boundaries, crop variation, and soil patterns. This information is then used to generate optimised routes for autonomous robots, linking aerial intelligence with ground-based automation.

This project is helping us push field mapping further, creating practical tools that farmers can use to plan, monitor, and improve robotic work with greater efficiency and confidence.

EU Agtech support

We supported Robotti dealers overseas by installing two Stanhay precision seed drills for farmers in Germany. This involved fitting a retrofit ISOBUS system to the Robotti, setting up and trialling the platform with Stanhay's electric drive, high-precision drills.

The project demonstrated how our expertise in systems integration ensures smooth deployment of advanced equipment, even in international contexts. It highlighted our ability to work alongside dealers abroad, delivering reliable results and giving farmers confidence in adopting autonomous technology supported by specialist implements.

Autonomous Carrots

In 2024 we delivered our first end-to-end autonomous farming project in carrots, supplying both the AgXeed and Robotti platforms along with all the tools required to manage the crop (A world first for the collaboration between these two robots) . Starting with a bare field, we carried out every stage of production — from tillage and drilling through to crop protection — right up to harvest.

This project clearly demonstrated the potential of robotics to transform agriculture. We achieved measurable carbon savings and a yield increase, proving that autonomous systems can deliver both environmental and commercial benefits. The work was supported by M&S, who recognized the importance of showcasing sustainable and innovative approaches to food production.

Lettuce tec

In 2022 we sold an 8m K.U.L.T. iSelect in-row weeder capable of injecting fertiliser, applying slug pellets, and weeding 24 rows of lettuce at once. This gave the grower a powerful tool to manage crops more efficiently while reducing manual inputs.

By 2024 we advanced this into a RaaS service, combining the K.U.L.T. weeder with Robotti and a bespoke fertiliser injection system designed for 2m beds of high-density lettuce (8 rows). This showed how autonomous platforms could reliably deliver crop care services on a commercial scale.

In 2025 we further optimised the system in-field, adapting it to 3m beds with 12 rows, and managing weeding, fertilisation, and slug pellet application completely autonomously. Alongside the original purchased K.U.L.T. weeder, this ensured 100% of the farm's lettuce crop was covered. Over the season, Robotti completed more than 230 hectares on this one farm alone, demonstrating the scalability and reliability of autonomous solutions in high-value vegetable production.
