Topcon Positioning Systems and Bonsai Robotics have partnered to automate labor-intensive tasks in permanent crops, aiming to provide farmers with unparalleled efficiency and productivity. Bonsai Robotics, a company that specializes in vision-based autonomous navigation systems, will integrate its technology with Topcon Agriculture’s precision sensors and smart implement controls. This collaboration will create end-to-end systems that automate tasks, enable data-driven decision-making, and provide high-precision harvesting technology in challenging environments. The companies’ goal is to revolutionize orchard farming by providing seamless solutions that drive efficiency and sustainability. Bonsai Robotics has developed AI-based navigation systems that can operate without GPS or internet connection, making them suitable for harsh environments. The company has received $15 million in funding to further enhance its software capabilities and expand its platform. Topcon Agriculture, with over 90 years of experience in surveying, provides a range of agriculture offerings, including smart implements and data management platforms. The partnership between the two companies will expand Topcon’s capabilities to the orchard farming market, addressing pain points such as labor shortages and resource inefficiency.
