California’s Bonsai Robotics has launched its first unified hardware-software agro-tech platform featuring the new Amiga robot lineup.
Unveiled at FIRA USA 2025, the Amiga Flex, Trax, and Max offer accessible autonomy for vineyards, orchards, and row-crop fields, with each machine featuring the company’s AI-first, vision-based "Bonsai Intelligence” system.
Next-Gen Field Robotics
Chief among Amiga’s lineup is the durable and modular Amiga Flex robot. Roughly the size of a small all-terrain vehicle (ATV), it operates on a zero-emission electric powertrain that provides 8+ hours of runtime per swappable battery, allowing it to work all day with minimal maintenance.
Moreover, with an 800-lb payload capacity, 700-lb lift capability (courtesy of a CAT 0 three-point system), and 1,600-lb towing capacity, Flex can perform a wide range of tasks, such as weeding, hauling materials, towing sprayers or mowers, and scouting crops.
Vision-Based Autonomy
The company’s mission to make autonomy more accessible, adaptable, and scalable for growers is supported by its AI-first, vision-based autonomy system, Bonsai Intelligence. The same has been trained on half a million acres of farm land spread across multiple continents, ensuring it can be tailored to specific environments and different crop types.
Bonsai Intelligence features two core parts: Bonsai Autonomy and Bonsai Pilot. While the former enables machines to perceive their surroundings, interpret complex environments, and act independently, the latter helps growers plan, monitor, and manage every aspect of their autonomous operations in real time.
Tailored for Different Applications
Apart from Amiga Flex, the lineup also includes Bonsai’s Amiga Trax and Amiga Max for more intensive daily farm work.
The Amiga Trax is a modular, low-clearance vehicle designed for vineyards, cane fruit operations, and perennial crop systems. The Amiga Max, on the other hand, is a compact, high-performance robot engineered for heavy-duty farming operations.
