Roboton Terms: Roboton Farmer – autonomous field robot for vegetable cultivation

The Czech company Roboton Terms from Budweis has been working on technical solutions for agriculture and solar technology for three decades. At Agritechnica 2025, the company will showcase its latest development: the Roboton Farmer – an autonomous vehicle for precise vegetable cultivation. After more than 15 years of development work, a system is now available that significantly reduces human labor in the field and enables fully automatic control via an app.

Roboton Terms – Three decades of experience and research

Since its founding, Roboton Terms has focused on machines and individual devices for agricultural production. The company has many years of experience in the construction of specialized equipment and uses this knowledge to develop robotic solutions for vegetable cultivation.

Roboton Farmer – Autonomous robot for vegetable cultivation

With the Roboton Farmer, the team aims to provide farmers with between three and ten hectares of cultivated land with tools that combine productivity, precision, and sustainability. A user-friendly app allows fields to be digitally created, divided into sub-areas, and all work steps to be planned. The robot then takes over the tasks independently – from sowing to weed removal. All processes can be monitored remotely, while the system automatically selects and connects the appropriate tools. The result is an efficient combination of precision, productivity, and sustainability.

Control via app – efficient working without programming knowledge

The app is at the heart of the system. It allows you to enter field boundaries, define plots, and create tasks such as sowing or maintenance. The user does not need any programming knowledge – the robot selects the appropriate attachment itself, such as the rotavator, the sowing module, or the weed remover. Once the task has been approved, the Roboton Farmer performs all work steps autonomously. Thanks to sensor technology and precise track guidance, the machine stays within the planned paths, regardless of terrain or crop.

Modular design for flexible application

The current version of the Roboton Farmer has a semi-modular design. Some components are permanently integrated, while others can be added via a connection module. This allows the system to be adapted to individual requirements – from seeders and tanks for liquid fertilization to future modules with high-voltage technology for weed control. The battery unit will also be modular in the future to scale range and performance depending on the size of the operation.

Rental model and market launch of the next generation

The Roboton Farmer is currently in practical use by farmers and experimental farms in Czechia and is currently offered on a rental basis. This phase serves to further develop and fine-tune the systems. The market launch of a fully modular version is planned for 2027. The goal is to offer the autonomous system as a purchasable product that can be integrated into existing farm structures.

The future of autonomous agriculture with Roboton Terms

With the Roboton Farmer, Roboton Terms wants to show how robotics and digitalization can change vegetable cultivation. The combination of many years of experience in mechanical engineering, intelligent software, and modular hardware creates a flexible platform for a wide variety of crops. The system is designed to reduce human labor, standardize processes, and at the same time protect the soil.
