🍎🚜 Take a look at Prospr, our autonomous, multi-use hybrid vehicle in action on US soil! It’s been fantastic to witness our launch customers integrating the Prospr technology into their operations this spray season, and a big thank you to our early adopters - your support is shaping the future of horticulture management. We’re proud to have Prospr in your orchards and vineyards! Check out our recent video to see Prospr in action. Prospr is an autonomous, multi-use hybrid vehicle with a compact design and unique steering. With the ability to navigate rows as narrow as 1.83m (6ft), it allows for greater flexibility in automation for vineyards and tree crops. Designed to significantly boost efficiency across various crop tasks, it has a unique modular architecture, allowing you to swap tools and attachments effortlessly. 🤖🌿 #RoboticsPlus #Prospr #innovation #AgTech #robotics

Delivering innovative robotics products and solutions to agricultural challenges. Driving a more sustainable ag sector.
About us
Our story started in a small shed surrounded by orchards and farms in the heart of New Zealand’s thriving ag sector. This environment enables us to test our prototypes first hand, see the problems we need to solve in real life, and get instant feedback from farmers and agriculturalists. Our customers are across the fence. And they’ve seen a lot of innovation come and go. So they set incredibly high expectations. They know what works and what doesn’t – and won’t hesitate to tell you so. So we’ve always been driven to create solutions that are not just innovative but that perform. From what started with Steve (ag expert) and Alistair (tech expert), we’ve built a world-class team of specialists across ag, tech, and engineering. We’re still located in the heart of New Zealand’s thriving ag sector, but now we’re sending robots all over the world.
