FD20

FarmDroid (founded 2018 in Vejen, Denmark, by brothers Jens and Kristian Warming) makes the FD20, a solar-powered autonomous field robot that both sows and mechanically weeds row crops in a single machine. Lightweight at about 1,250 kilograms and powered by four solar panels with a roughly 1.6 kilowatt-hour battery for 18 to 24 hours of operation, it uses 8-millimeter RTK-GPS to record the exact position of every seed at sowing, which lets it weed precisely between and within rows before the crop even emerges, herbicide-free. It has seen strong adoption in European organic farming and is recorded at commercial maturity. By the company's own reporting it has sold more than 500 robots across 26 countries since first sales in 2019, and in the 2025 season its fleet weeded about 26,335 hectares across 26 countries; this sits on an independently corroborated growth curve, with Farmers Weekly reporting 250 units in 18 countries as of April 2022. FarmDroid raised 10.5 million euro in October 2024 from Convent Capital, Navus Ventures, and Denmark's state export and investment fund EIFO, earmarked to expand from organic into the conventional market. The product evolves through modular upgrades, including a new +Seed system and an optional +Spray module, rather than a new model. Claims of being the world's best-selling robot in this niche are marketing and not asserted, the herbicide-free description applies to the base configuration since the optional +Spray module micro-doses chemicals, and the North American presence remains early-stage trials and emerging dealer listings rather than commercial scale.
