Bonsai Robotics' Visionsteer Technology

Bonsai Robotics' Visionsteer technology is a groundbreaking innovation designed to operate autonomously in harsh off-road environments such as orchards, vineyards, fields, mines, and work zones. Notably, Visionsteer functions without the need for GPS, cellular, or other connections, making it highly reliable in remote locations. This technology automates vehicles to perform tasks 60% more effectively and efficiently than traditional methods. It includes features like vision-based understanding, day and night operations, localization and mapping, path planning, and over-the-air software updates. By reducing costs by 45%, decreasing operator training time to just 4 hours, and allowing for 8 vehicles per operator, Visionsteer optimizes grower operations and enhances productivity.

Bonsai Robotics' Autonomous Systems

Bonsai Robotics offers a range of driver-optional, fully autonomous systems, including the OMC AR-500 and the OMC Shockwave X. The OMC AR-500 is designed for 24/7 operations, enabling continuous harvest and off-harvest activities. On the other hand, the OMC Shockwave X is known for its impressive speed, processing 7.5 trees per minute, making it twice as fast as typical operators. These systems not only ease the burden on human operators but also significantly enhance operational efficiency and productivity. Additionally, the upcoming Flory V62 Sweeper will feature driver in-row steering assist in 2024 and will transition to driver-optional capabilities via over-the-air software updates in 2025.

Bonsai Robotics' Partnerships and Collaborations

Bonsai Robotics actively collaborates with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and growers to deliver best-in-class autonomous solutions. The company supplies autonomy-ready hardware kits and sophisticated perception, planning, and controls software to manufacturers. One significant partnership is with Flory Industries, integrating advanced Visionsteer technology into Flory's agricultural equipment. These collaborations ensure that Bonsai Robotics' technology meets the specific needs of various industries, providing unparalleled performance and efficiency in challenging environments.

Bonsai Robotics' Impact on Grower Operations

Bonsai Robotics' technology is tailored to address the unique needs of growers, providing valuable data insights, analysis, notifications, job planning, and vehicle control. Visionsteer technology helps optimize grower operations by reducing costs, increasing yield, and delivering detailed data insights. The system's rugged, automotive-grade sensors and compute reduce the bill of materials (BOM) cost while maintaining top-notch performance. By enabling faster task completion and reducing operator training time, Bonsai Robotics ensures that growers can manage their operations more efficiently and effectively.

Bonsai Robotics' Support and Integration

Bonsai Robotics prides itself on providing comprehensive 24/7 support to OEMs and growers, ensuring seamless integration and operation of its Visionsteer technology. The company can integrate its technology into vehicles in less than a quarter, demonstrating its efficiency and commitment to quick deployment. With over 500,000 acres of data collected, Bonsai Robotics leverages extensive field experience to continuously improve its technology and support systems. This robust support framework ensures that customers can rely on Bonsai Robotics for consistent performance and ongoing enhancements.
