The FD20 robot places every sugar beet seed with 8 mm GPS precision, so it knows exactly where each seed sits before it even emerges. That lets it run a first, blind weeding pass before the crop is up, cutting weed pressure by up to 50%. From there, weekly mechanical weeding continues right through canopy closure, so weeds never get the chance to flower or set seed, keeping the field clean all the way to harvest.
The result: cleaner fields and up to 40% higher yields on well-suited crops. Read the full story on how precision seeding and mechanical weeding work together from sowing to harvest.
The third winner of our Photo Competition 2026 has been crowned in the category ‘Droid Living Its Best Life’.
This round’s winning photo comes from Steen Andersen in Denmark, capturing the FD20 weeding in a quinoa field. Bathed in warm sunlight, the shot has real character and catches the robot at a genuinely lively moment out in the field.
In case you missed it, we launched the FD60 this month.
It’s a new and larger field robot that automatically seeds and mechanically weeds up to 60 hectares in a single season, without herbicide, and without adding extra labour.
The new bigger FarmDroid robot FD60 is here: a field robot that seeds and mechanically weeds the crops automatically.Â
A bigger FarmDroid means bigger possibilities. The FD60 handles up to 60 hectares in a single season.
It seeds and weeds several beds at once, up to 20 rows and 6.75 metres working width, configured to fit your bed layout and fields. The configuration example below shows how it can looks like in practice: three beds of onions, six rows each, covered in a single pass.Â
It moves at up to 2 km/h. Solar and battery run the day-to-day, with a Range Extender as backup for cloudy stretches or long days. And because it weeds mechanically, no herbicide is needed.
Take 12 rows at 50 cm row spacing across 6 metres, in a single pass, on beds of beet, maize, or, for example, green beans, and other crops too, as in the configuration example below: double the capacity you might know from the FD20.
Configure your FD60 based on your crops, fields, and needs: move through the setup step by step and see how each choice shapes the final machine. At the end, you get a clear price estimate to work from.
Get one step ahead of your neighbours and read more about the new FD60, or contact us to talk through the opportunities a bigger robot opens up for your farm.
The 2026 season set seven records across the FD20 fleet, and three are hard to ignore. The record seeder in France sowed 77.7 hectares with 8mm precision. The record weeder in the Netherlands cleared nearly 195 hectares on a single sugar beet field through repeated passes. And the night shifter, also French, worked 420 hours in the dark, between 6pm and 6am, with zero operator involvement.
That’s only three of seven records. Explore the rest for yourself.
When you’re about to invest in an autonomous robot, you want to know how it actually performs in practice, not just what a product description says. That’s why we have made a network of robotfarmers, who owns a FarmDroid and have agreed to share their experience with you. 🌱 They are ready to answer your questions honestly about the robot.

The second winner of our Photo Competition 2026 has now been selected in the Weeding category.
The winning photo was submitted by Hubert Spanischberger from Austria and stood out for showing the FD20 actively at work mid-operation, surrounded by clean, well-maintained rows of black cumin with no visible weed pressure. Hubert also shared an after photo of the same field later in the season, a clear illustration of what consistent mechanical weeding actually produces.
Don’t worry if you missed Field Days –Â there are still plenty of opportunities to see the FD20 in action this season.
From field days across Europe the last couple of weeks to major agricultural exhibitions later in the summer and autumn, we have events across Europe where you can meet the robot, talk to farmers already using it, and get your questions answered by a FarmDroid specialist
