Helping farmers grow
our story
Who are we?
Meet Us
Hej! We are a Danish company based in the southern region of Denmark.
Our employees are a colorful group of people of different backgrounds and interests, coming together in a passion in doing something good for our environment while building kick-a** products for farmers.
Our Mission
We build and scale autonomous field robots that help farmers produce crops with less labour, higher yields and only the inputs the crop needs - on nature's terms.
„The first farmdroid prototype could run straight“
From handweeding on the family farm to the largest producer of automatic field robots worldwide
Invented and assembled in denmark
One danish guy - on a sugar beet field - somewhere in Denmark, to the biggest producer of automatic field robots in the world. Check out our story.
Made by farmers, for farmers ❤
Hand weeding is hard work
Jens Vest Warming just finished his degree in mechanical engineering and was out of a job. To stay busy he was hand weeding sugar beets on his family’s organic farm. He was overwhelmed with the amount of manual work that the sugar beets required and thought to himself that there had to be a smarter way to do it. That was when he started developing the concept of the FarmDroid robot – an automated solution for weed control.
Another brother joins in
At first Kristian was only a sparring partner for Jens, but over time the robot project became too interesting to remain on the sidelines. As an electrician Kristian was also a nerd by heart but also had farming under his skin from their family farm. Kristian chose to jump on the train, which quickly turned into a lightning train.
Many prototypes later it could go straight!
Working intensely on the robot platform in their spare the Warming brothers cracked the code and now had a prototype that could actually go straight, which is the most important thing in precision farming.
The company is formally founded
Jens and Kristian worked so hard on their hobby project it was starting to take a toll on their family life. They had to take a decision, should they go all-in on their dream of creating a farming robot that solves a lot of challenges in farming, or should they just take the easy way out and focus on their existing career. Fortunately they chose to found FarmDroid.
FIRST FD20 SOLD
The prototype that could finally go straight found someone willing to trust it with a real field. FarmDroid's first FD20 was sold, and just like that, two brothers' spare-time project became a company with an actual product, a delivery date, and one very nervous wait to see if the thing would hold up outside the test field.
FD60 JOINS THE FAMILY
Turns out a lot of farmers hated hand weeding just as much as Jens once did. With more than five hundred robots now working fields across Europe and beyond, FD20 gets a bigger sibling: FD60, built for larger farms and bigger-seeded crops like maize and beans, running at three times FD20's capacity. Now even more farmers can finally skip the manual work that started this whole thing.
