AMIGA

Leverage the versatility and flexibility of the Amiga robot to accelerate your project development with a rugged, farm ready, open-source robotics platform.

Learn more about using the Amiga in your Farm Robotics Academy project by watching the video below. This clip below was taken from our Farm Robotics Challenge info session webinar on November 13, 2024 and features Leanne Gluck (Head of Marketing) and Marcelo Queiroz (Support Engineer).

Last year high school students from Santa Maria Joint Union High School District participated in our Academy pilot program. Working with the Amiga robot on the Mark Richardson CTE Center and Agricultural Farm they undertook this project: “Making the Amiga Robot User Friendly to Multiple Row Spacings and Implement Change-Outs”.

Their project aimed to solve a real-world issue on the school farm: how to allow multiple student groups to use the same robotic tractor during class periods without delays or safety risks due to slow or difficult implement change-outs. The Farm-ng Amiga robot, although highly configurable, lacked quick-change hardware compatible with our school's multiple bed spacings (single 38” beds or double 76” beds). To address this, the team built new adapters and receivers to facilitate safe and efficient transitions between implements such as a seed planter, rototiller, weed cultivator, and harvest platform. View their project video below.
