Farm Bot Ships Record Number of Farming Robots to Homeowners and Schools, Bringing the Smart Home Revolution to the Backyard and Classroom
San Luis Obispo, California, December 30th, 2022
California startup Farm Bot has shipped a record number of automated farming robots in 2022 to homeowners looking for help in the garden as well as schools and universities bolstering their precision agriculture programs.
2022 marked the release of Farm Bot's newest models with the following key features …
A powered weed whacker attachment for effective, automatic weed removal
An upgraded camera for high definition plant photography and weed detection
An improved vacuum pump for precision seed injection
More robust electronics including the latest Raspberry Pi computers
The Farm Bot web app allows users to drag-and-drop their garden design like the popular video game Farmville. Then the Farm Bot does the rest: it plants seeds, waters each plant according to its type, age, and the local weather, takes photos to find and remove weeds, and notifies users when the tomatoes are ripe.
Farm Bots can grow many common garden veggies at the same time such as Lettuces, Onions, Radishes, Beets, Chard, Garlic, Bok Choy, Arugula, Carrots, Broccoli, and much more. By placing vining and other indeterminate crops near the ends of the bed and training them outwards, the plants can utilize double or triple the area while still being maintained by the Farm Bot.
Both Farm Bot Express and Genesis can grow all of the veggies needed by one person, continuously, for less cost after 2 years than shopping at the average US grocery store, while the XL bots can serve a family of four with a return on investment period as short as 1 year.
All hardware is made of stainless steel, aluminum, and weatherproof plastics, allowing Farm Bot to be installed outdoors or on rooftops in all weather conditions as well as in greenhouses or indoors. Farm Bot is also 100 percent open-source, meaning all of the CAD models, electronic schematics, software, and data are freely available online for everyone from tinkerers to teachers to learn more and customize their machine.
All models are in stock and available for immediate worldwide shipping from Farm Bot's California warehouse, with free shipping offered to US customers. With Spring fast approaching, now is the best time to order a kit at farm.bot.
