Key Takeaways:
- Bonsai Robotics introduced its new Amiga lineup—Amiga Flex, Amiga Trax, and Amiga Max—marking its first integrated release since acquiring farm-ng in July 2025.
- The new range is fully powered by Bonsai Intelligence, the company’s vision-based autonomy platform designed for real-world agricultural and industrial applications.
- Amiga Flex serves as a modular R&D-to-field platform, while Trax and Max are purpose-built for off-road and heavy-duty farming operations.
- The company aims to make autonomy more accessible and adaptable for growers through a unified hardware-software ecosystem.
- All Amiga vehicles leverage Bonsai Intelligence, trained on over 500,000 acres of global agricultural data.
Bonsai Robotics Launches Unified Amiga Lineup Powered by Bonsai Intelligence
Bonsai Robotics, a leader in AI-first, vision-based autonomy for agriculture, has unveiled its new Amiga lineup at FIRA USA 2025, introducing the Amiga Flex, Amiga Trax, and Amiga Max. This marks a major step for the company following its acquisition of farm-ng, as it integrates both hardware and software into a single system designed for scalability and accessibility.
“We’re building the most accessible, adaptable autonomy platform in agriculture — one that now brings Bonsai Intelligence and the Amiga product line together as a unified system,” said Tyler Niday, CEO of Bonsai Robotics. “This integration unlocks new capabilities that allow growers to deploy autonomy in forms tailored to their specific environments and needs.”
Amiga Flex: From Research to Real-World Deployment
The new Amiga Flex serves as a durable, modular platform designed for researchers, innovators, and commercial users developing autonomous systems for outdoor environments. Roughly the size of a small ATV, the Flex can tow, carry, or operate various implements used in research and agriculture, supporting applications such as weeding, hauling, and scouting.
Key specifications include:
- Bonsai Intelligence Integration: Each Flex comes equipped with Bonsai’s full compute and sensor suite for intelligent navigation, perception, and task automation.
- Field-Ready Performance: With an 800 lb payload, 700 lb lift, and 1,600 lb towing capacity, the Flex delivers balanced, durable performance in diverse terrain.
- Zero-Emission Power: The electric powertrain provides over eight hours of runtime with quick-swap batteries for continuous use.
- Open Connectivity: Open APIs and standard interfaces allow seamless integration of sensors, implements, and third-party tools.
Expanding the Amiga Platform: Trax and Max
Bonsai Robotics also showcased the Amiga Trax and Amiga Max, both built for off-road and agricultural operations.
- Amiga Trax is a low-clearance, modular vehicle optimized for hauling, spraying, and automation in rugged environments. Its design supports operations in vineyards, orchards, and other perennial crop systems.
- Amiga Max is a compact, high-power robot equipped for towing, spraying, and lifting. It features a hybrid-electric option for extended runtime and 24/7 operation.
Each model integrates Bonsai Intelligence, enabling real-time situational awareness, navigation, and autonomous task execution across diverse environments.
Bonsai Intelligence: Vision-Based Autonomy for Real-World Conditions
At the core of all Amiga systems is Bonsai Intelligence, the company’s vision-based autonomy platform composed of two main components:
- Bonsai Autonomy, an embodied AI system that enables machines to perceive, interpret, and act independently.
- Bonsai Pilot, a cloud-based control application for managing and monitoring autonomous operations in real time.
Unlike conventional GPS-dependent systems, Bonsai Robotics uses visual perception—trained on over 500,000 acres across multiple continents and crop types—to operate effectively in dusty, low-visibility, and complex field conditions.
“Bonsai Intelligence has been proven in commercial deployments around the world and now powers our new Amiga lineup,” Niday said. “It allows us to deliver affordable, high-performance autonomy that integrates with existing equipment and scales with growers’ needs—helping manage all operations from one connected platform, anytime, anywhere.”
