Robotics scaled down, not dumbed down
Small plots, mixed cropping, and irregular field shapes mean the giant autonomous tractors built for row-crop megafarms simply don't fit. Farmers here have been left choosing between manual labor and machines they can't afford or maneuver.
Plots, not grids
Fields under two hectares, often oddly shaped and bordered by bunds — most commercial ag-robots can't turn in that space.
Mixed cropping
Intercropped vegetables and grain need a machine that can be reconfigured by season, not one built for a single monocrop.
Capital, not just cost
Even a "cheap" robot is a big ask against a season's revenue. Ownership isn't the only path to using one.
Three machines, one field
Each robot is under a meter wide, battery-swappable, and controlled from a single app — built to move between bunds, not around them.
Row
A narrow scanning-and-spraying unit that reads crop stress row by row and applies pesticide only where it's needed — cutting chemical use without cutting coverage.

Bund
Named for the field borders it was built to hug. Bund threads between vegetable beds and pulls weeds mechanically, a fit for organic and low-spray operations where herbicide isn't an option.

Machaan
Named after the raised watchtowers farmers build to keep watch over a field. Machaan is a bare chassis that takes swappable attachments — sprayer, seeder, cart, or camera mast — shared across a season's tasks.
