Farming robot - FARMIONIC

This start-up from Austria has set itself the task of providing sustainable food cultivation on a decentralised basis around the world. To make this possible, it requires a high degree of self-sufficiency and automation. Low Cost Automation is making a significant contribution to the success of the project. cost-effective robotic components are an important building block in terms of the economic viability of forward-looking projects.

Cost-effective robotic components with important specifications such as insensitivity to dirt and corrosion resistance are sought so that they can be used in an environment such as decentralised agriculture in the long term.
