Project Overview

Over 10 years, Thornfield Robotics has carried out pioneering research to perfect the design and development of fully autonomous agricultural vehicles with a broad range of operations, budgets and future expansions in mind.

Integrated Systems Development

This work includes the design and development of mechanical, electrical, electronic and hydraulic systems. Additionally, Thornfield Robotics has developed complete suites of software required to integrate these systems.

Patented Technology

±2cm Precision Guidance

Our guidance algorithms deliver ±2 cm accuracy all the time. Speeds are precisely controlled and automatic speed control takes care of safe turns.

Day & Night Operation

Three Operation Modes

Manual

The physical presence of a driver at the seat of the machine will result in manual operation mode.

Remote Controlled

The machines can be remotely controlled using devices such as an Xbox controller.

Autonomous

To put the machine into fully autonomous operation, roughly position the vehicle at the designated start point and use your mobile phone to launch autonomous operations.

Advanced Capabilities

These agricultural vehicles can operate day or night with extended hours of continuous operation.

Other optional features such as remotely accessible cameras, remote monitoring, diagnostic systems and weather stations are also available.

Thornfield Robotics systems are entirely retrofittable requiring minimal capital expenditure.
