Precision robotic solutions for modern agriculture. Mobile platforms with multi-spectral sensors for crop phenotyping, combined with robotic arms for selective harvesting, covering orchard inspection, field data collection and more, reducing labor costs by over 40%.
The 15th Five-Year Plan positions smart agriculture as a core driver of agricultural modernization. The Digital Rural Development Strategy calls for accelerating agricultural robot and smart equipment deployment across planting, breeding, and processing. The 2026 Central Document No.1 explicitly requires advancing key agricultural technology R&D and smart farm equipment promotion.
According to MarketsandMarkets, the global agricultural robot market is projected to grow from approximately USD 17.8 billion in 2024 to USD 56.3 billion by 2030, at 26.0% CAGR. China's agricultural robot market reached approximately 3.4 billion yuan in 2024, growing 3.8x from 2019-2024 at 29.8% CAGR, becoming one of the fastest-growing markets globally.
Chinese agriculture faces three structural challenges: aging labor force (average age over 55 with continued youth exodus), land fragmentation hindering scale operations, and environmental pressure from excessive fertilizer and pesticide use. Smart agriculture, driven by data and robots, is redefining how food is produced.
China's smart agriculture market exceeded 68 billion yuan in 2025 and is projected to reach 150 billion yuan by 2030. With maturing BeiDou navigation, 5G, and AI vision technologies, agricultural robots are moving from research to commercial scale across orchards, tea gardens, greenhouses, and open fields.
Based on Hunter 2.0 Ackermann chassis with multi-spectral cameras and 3D LiDAR, autonomous navigation in narrow orchard rows, real-time monitoring of fruit maturity, pests, and tree vigor.
Scout Mini compact chassis with Topgear multi-modal sensors, auto-collects crop phenotypic data (plant height, leaf area, NDVI) on preset paths across open fields and greenhouses.
Force-controlled arm with soft gripper, vision AI identifies fruit maturity for precise non-destructive harvesting. Force sensors ensure 98%+ fruit integrity.
Phenotypic data auto-uploads to cloud with GIS visualization, NDVI heatmaps, growth trend analysis, and yield prediction for data-driven farming decisions.
Agricultural robots deliver value by automating standardized, highly repetitive, labor-intensive farm operations, freeing farmers to focus on management and decision-making:
| Scenario | Specific Operations | Smart Equipment Capability |
|---|---|---|
| Orchard Inspection | Row-by-row patrol, fruit maturity detection, early pest/disease warning | Ackermann chassis for narrow rows, multi-spectral + depth vision assesses each tree's health, 30+ acres daily coverage. |
| Crop Phenotyping | Plant height, leaf area, NDVI, canopy density, stem diameter | Synced multi-spectral + LiDAR acquisition, centimeter-precision 3D crop models, auto-data archiving and analysis. |
| Variable-Rate Fertilization | Prescription map-based zone variable fertilization, targeted top-dressing | Multi-spectral data generates fertilization prescriptions, robots apply precisely per map, reducing fertilizer by 20%-30%. |
| Pest Monitoring | Leaf lesion identification, pest counting, spread trend prediction | High-res vision AI identifies pest/disease types and severity, generates treatment recommendations and targeted spraying plans. |
| Selective Harvesting | Ripe fruit identification, non-destructive picking, quality grading | Vision AI judges fruit maturity, force-controlled arm gentle gripping, 2-3x manual efficiency, <2% damage rate. |
| Greenhouse Management | Temperature/humidity monitoring, light adjustment, CO2 management | Compact chassis autonomously patrols greenhouses, real-time environmental monitoring linked to ventilation and irrigation auto-adjustment. |
From single-scenario robotization to full-chain intelligent management, smart agriculture is redefining who farms and how farming is done.
Agricultural robots operate throughout the complete farming cycle — spring sowing, summer management, autumn harvest, and winter analysis:
Soil testing → Precision sowing → Seedling monitoring
Robot collects soil data for fertilization prescriptions, precision seeding, vision AI monitors emergence rate and seedling status
Patrol monitoring → Variable fertilization → Pest control → Irrigation scheduling
Daily patrol collects phenotypic data, multi-spectral prescriptions guide variable fertilization, AI targeted spraying reduces pesticides 40%
Maturity assessment → Selective picking → Quality grading → Yield statistics
Vision AI assesses maturity, force-controlled arm non-destructive picking, auto-grading and sorting, data platform generates yield reports
Annual data aggregation → Trend analysis → Next-year planning → Model optimization
Data platform analyzes annual growth curves and yield correlations, AI models optimize fertilization/irrigation/harvest strategies
