Autonomous field robots with an AI-farmer brain
Planting · Care · Selective harvest — to order
Farma AI is POLCERO's agriculture branch: a fleet of autonomous field robots controlled by the 'AI-farmer' supervisory brain for the full crop cycle — planting, care (weeding, spot spraying), monitoring and selective harvest of delicate vegetables. Designed for large vegetable farms, delivered as Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) — no capital expenditure.
WHAT THE ROBOT DOES
The full crop cycle — automated
From planting to harvest, one robot fleet handles the whole season.
Planting
Precise row-by-row transplanting or direct seeding with RTK/SLAM navigation. Sub-centimeter placement accuracy on the POLCERO-W4 chassis.
Care — weeding & thinning
Computer-vision weed detection + mechanical or thermal weeding. No herbicide for identified weeds — only targeted spot spray.
Spot spraying / micro-dosing
Selective application of fertilizer or plant-protection products only where the AI detects need. Reduces chemical use by up to 90% vs. blanket spraying.
Monitoring
Daily field scanning with RGB-D + multispectral + thermal cameras. Crop health map, disease early-warning, harvest readiness prediction.
Selective harvest
Selective harvesting of delicate vegetables (starting with lettuce heads) — the hardest unsolved gap in agri automation. Soft gripper + AI maturity detection.
INNOVATION
Why selective harvest is the last frontier
Weeding, thinning and baby-leaf harvest are already commercial. Selective harvesting of individual lettuce heads — identifying the right maturity level, soft-grasping without damage, at field speed — is the unsolved gap we target. Combined with the full cycle integration (planting → care → harvest), this is where POLCERO's AI-farmer system creates durable competitive advantage.
Perception: RGB-D + multispectral + thermal cameras. Maturity model: YOLO + fine-tuned VLA on crop-specific datasets. Gripper: soft pneumatic with adaptive force control. Navigation: RTK/SLAM for sub-centimeter row-level precision.

VALUE PROPOSITION
Why farms choose robot-as-a-service
Less chemistry
Spot spraying only where needed — up to 90% less plant-protection product vs. blanket application.
Optimal harvest
AI selects the right maturity window — less waste, higher quality, consistent throughput.
Labor resilience
Robot fleet reduces dependency on seasonal labor. Scales with farm size, not headcount.
Made in PL/EU
Full EU compliance, CE marking, EU Machinery Regulation. Supply-chain controlled and supported locally.
BUSINESS MODEL
Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS)
Farma AI is delivered as a subscription service. POLCERO owns, insures and services the robot fleet and AI-farmer software. The farm pays a monthly service fee — no capital expenditure on hardware. The AI-farmer brain is licensed separately per farm.
We also offer purchase + service agreements for farms that prefer ownership. Every deployment is to order — we size the fleet and configure the AI for your specific crops and field layout.
