Open Field Automation
The Farming Robot Reference Framework
Build the future of farming robotics using the power of open-source!
People have spent millions to develop autonomous agricultural robots. However little of that has come to fruition. So we decided to pool our resources and combine our strengths around an open framework of reusable modules.
We aim to make off-road automation
- reliable
- affordable
- easy to develop & implement
To that end, we provide open access to a library software and hardware not otherwise readily available, such as:
- hardware designs
- safety related documentation
- software stack & interfaces
- innovative weeding tools
Watch our first prototype running OFA software & hardware:
Applications
- weed and pest control
- sampling & mapping (e.g. phenotyping)
- pasture care
We are looking for software engineering in all disciplines, hardware design and, of course, funding. Together, we are building a cost effective, flexible and robust development kit for agricultural robots. Building on this framework will allow institutions and companies to focus on developing and implementing applications that are both economically and ecologically viable.
