Robots for agriculture and viticulture: weeding, under-vine soil work, agricultural drones
Robots weed row crops, work vineyard soil and carry tools without a driver. The grower sets the plots, the tools and the schedule.
IN BRIEF
Updated
Vegetable growers, arable farms and wine estates use RTK-guided autonomous robots to sow, weed and work the soil under the vine row.
FarmDroid FD20 sows then weeds over a 3.5 m width, records each seed position to within 8 mm and covers about 6 ha a day, according to its manufacturer.
Robot Distribution fits the robot and its tools to the farm, commissions it and maintains it, for purchase, rental or RaaS.
WHAT ROBOTS DO
Three tasks robots take on, plot by plot.
Mechanical and laser weeding
FarmDroid FD20 hoes between and within rows using the position of each seed. Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder G2 200, pulled by a tractor, kills weeds with lasers over a 2.0 m width without herbicide, according to its manufacturer.
Vineyard soil work
An electric straddle robot carries tools for soil work, mowing and trimming. VitiBot Bakus S has a passage 0.60 m wide and 1.75 m high and steers with two RTK receivers to under 1 cm, according to its manufacturer.
Drone spraying and spreading
DJI Agras T100 carries a 100 L spray tank or a 150 L spreading tank, according to its manufacturer. In the European Union, aerial spraying of pesticides is prohibited unless a derogation is granted.
USE CASES
The jobs our robots do in this sector.
Autonomous crop weedingThe robot tells crop from weeds, then weeds mechanically, by laser or with micro-droplets, with no hand weeding. The grower keeps the choice of fields, settings and when to act.
Vineyard soil work and canopy careThe robot straddles the row and carries tools for soil work, mowing and trimming, guided by satellite. The grower keeps pruning, crop decisions and watching the vines.
Agricultural drone spraying and spreadingThe drone follows a flight plan drawn over the field and spreads fertiliser, seed or spray, without entering the crop. The regulatory framework is checked before each use.
Laser weeding of vegetables and specialty cropsThe laser weeder spots each weed by camera and kills it with a laser, with no chemical and no tillage. The grower chooses the fields, the passes and, depending on the crop, between laser and spot spraying.
Greenhouse harvesting and orchard workIn the greenhouse, the robot spots ripe trusses and cuts them; in the orchard, electric robots spray, carry and pull tools between the rows. Teams keep the tasks that need a trained eye.

HOW DEPLOYMENT WORKS
From site survey to after-sales.
Site survey
We walk the routes with you before any order: passage widths, door thresholds, floor gaps, slopes, lifts and doors, Wi-Fi coverage, charging and water points. The survey decides the model.
Mapping and commissioning
The robot is mapped on site, routes and no-go zones are set, and lifts, doors or call systems are connected where the model supports it.
Training
Operators learn daily use, charging and cleaning, error recovery and the emergency stop. One site lead learns to change routes and maps.
After-sales
Remote diagnosis first, then a part or a technician. Preventive maintenance and software updates can be part of a service contract or of a RaaS fee.
ACQUISITION
Buy, rent, or pay by the month.
- BUYOwn the robotOne invoice, with warranty and an optional service contract quoted alongside.
- RENTAL1 day to 12 monthsTest one floor or cover a season: delivered, set up and collected.
- RAAS24 to 60 monthsOne monthly fee: robot, maintenance, software, replacement.
REGULATION
What European law asks, in plain language.
Updated · General information, not legal advice.
Read the Machinery Regulation guide- CE marking and EU declaration of conformityEvery robot we deliver carries the CE marking and comes with the manufacturer's EU declaration of conformity, which we check before delivery.
- Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230The Machinery Regulation applies from 20 January 2027 and replaces Directive 2006/42/EC. It adds requirements for autonomous mobile machinery, safety software and protection against corruption.
- GDPR and robots with camerasA robot that films or maps a place where people can be identified processes personal data. The operator needs a legal basis, informs the people concerned and limits how long images are kept.
- Your risk assessmentAs an employer, you include the robot in the risk assessment of the workplace like any other work equipment. The manufacturer's instructions state the residual risks and the training required.
- Aerial sprayingArticle 9 of Directive 2009/128/EC prohibits aerial spraying of pesticides; Member States allow it only by derogation, in defined cases. Check the national rules before using a spraying drone.
FAQ
Questions farmers and winegrowers ask us.
Can a robot weed without herbicide?
Yes. According to their manufacturers, FarmDroid FD20 and Naïo Oz weed mechanically, and Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder G2 200 kills weeds with camera-guided 240 W lasers, by day and by night.
Which robot suits narrow vineyards?
A straddle robot whose passage matches the rows. According to their manufacturers, VitiBot Bakus S has a 0.60 × 1.75 m passage and Bakus L a 0.80 × 2.20 m passage; Naïo Ted lifts up to 600 kg of tools and covers up to 6.5 ha a day.
Can a drone treat crops in Europe?
Aerial spraying of pesticides is prohibited by Directive 2009/128/EC unless the Member State grants a derogation. Spreading fertiliser or seed by drone follows other rules, including Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 on drones.
Does a farm robot work without a driver?
Yes, within a defined area. According to their manufacturers, FarmDroid FD20 works 18 to 24 h a day on its solar panels, and Naïo Ted can work without an operator nearby since 2023. The grower remains responsible for the risk assessment.
