At Ernest Doe, we are proud to be an authorised dealer for FarmDroid, the world’s first fully automatic, solar-powered seeding and weeding robot. Designed to revolutionise sustainable farming, FarmDroid offers vegetable and arable growers a cost-effective, precise, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cultivation methods.
Dual Functionality – Automatically seeds and weeds with high precision, reducing labour and input costs.
Solar Powered – 100% energy self-sufficient, running entirely on renewable energy, lowering CO₂ emissions.
Autonomous Operation – Works independently, freeing up valuable time for other essential farm tasks.
Gentle on Crops – Accurate GPS-based navigation ensures precise planting and non-chemical weeding, promoting crop health.
Cost Savings – Cuts down on fuel, fertiliser, herbicides, and manual labour expenses.
Versatile Applications – Ideal for a wide range of vegetable crops, from onions, beetroot, and lettuce, to herbs and other specialist produce.
The FarmDroid robot maps the field during the seeding process using high-accuracy GPS, recording the exact position of each seed. Once the crop emerges, it uses this data to mechanically weed between and around plants with millimetre precision—without chemicals, without harming the crop.
Consistent and reliable field management
Improved soil health by reducing compaction and chemical use
Increased yields through precision planting and cleaner fields
