Bonsai Robotics acquires modular robot maker farm-ng

Bonsai Robotics/Bonsai autonomy platform

Bonsai Robotics acquired farm-ng, maker of the modular Amiga electric farm robot. The deal combines Bonsai's vision-based autonomy software that works in orchards without GPS or cell signal with farm-ng's open-architecture hardware platform. Terms were not disclosed; farm-ng CEO Brendan Dowdle became Bonsai's Chief Business Officer.

• farm-ng's Amiga is a modular, electric robot designed for small- and mid-sized farms, research institutions and developers.
• Bonsai's camera-based autonomy operates like human perception, working reliably in vineyards and orchards where GPS is unreliable.
• Dowdle's transition to CBO signals continuity; both teams were "deeply aligned on making robotics and AI practical for real-world agricultural workflows."
