Current platform

Amiga Flex

Bonsai Robotics' Amiga Flex is an autonomous agricultural vehicle fully integrated with the company's Bonsai Intelligence vision-based autonomy stack, designed for specialty crop farming including vineyards, orchards, and row crops. The platform uses camera-only autonomy without GPS dependency, trained across over 500,000 acres, enabling operation in environments such as orchard canopies. Bonsai Robotics developed the Amiga Flex following its July 2025 acquisition of farm-ng; production is planned to begin in 2026 with pilot deployments already underway in California.
