THE PROBLEM
Agriculture is being asked to do more with tools that haven’t kept up
Farmers are under pressure to increase yields, reduce input costs, and meet environmental expectations - all at the same time. But the tools they rely on were designed for scale, not precision.
PRODUCT
Our first live-in field robot: Designed and built with top maize farmers
01
Compact, All-Season Design
22″ wide to fit between 30″ corn rows, enabling in-season application without crop damage.
02
Autonomous Refill System
50L / 13 gal tank that refills automatically at the base station when levels run low.
03
Long-Duration Power
10-hour battery life with a 60-minute full recharge for continuous operation.
04
High Field Coverage
Covers approximately 1 acre per hour, ideal for managing up to 100 acres per week.
05
Real-Time Crop Intelligence
Multiple onboard sensors for crop monitoring and real-time data insights.

TECHNOLOGY
Our robots are designed for growers
Whether you’re pushing yield limits or protecting margins, Upside Robotics fits your operation without adding complexity. Built by people who understand farming — not just software.
Cost Savings
Cut nitrogen use by up to 70% across all soil types, saving corn growers up to $150 per acre while maintaining performance.
Better Yields
Make every dollar count by delivering nutrients exactly when needed, supporting healthier, more resilient crop growth.
Healthier Soil
Use a 150-pound lightweight robot to reduce compaction, eliminate nitrogen leaching, cut N₂O emissions, and support soil biology.

Targeted Feeding
Nutrients are applied in small, precise doses based on plant demand, reducing waste while supporting consistent growth and long-term soil health.

Real-Time Intelligence
Proprietary algorithms combine live soil, weather, and crop-stage data to continuously adjust application rates, timing, and placement.

Row-Level Navigation
Robots follow crop rows with high accuracy, adapting paths in real time while covering up to 100 acres per unit without soil compaction.

Dynamic Application
Nutrient mix and volume change on the go, responding to field variability and plant needs instead of fixed schedules.

Autonomous Operation
Solar-powered robots recharge, refill, and redeploy automatically, enabling 24/7 operation even in remote fields.

Sustainable Outcomes
Precision application reduces nitrogen loss, lowers emissions, protects soil structure, and supports healthier long-term soil biology.
APPROACH
Iterated in the field, season after season
Each design change comes from what worked and what didn’t in real farms.
GROWTH
Metrics
Operating across 3,000 corn acres. Currently in Ontario, Canada.

FAQs
01
How do robots improve fertilizer application?
By delivering fertilizer directly to the plant roots on demand, our robots ensure maximum uptake, reducing waste and environmental impact. We also leverage multiple sources of existing data (including satellite data, yield maps and swat maps) in combination with our own data autonomously collected from ground level. This data is continuously processed through advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to determine when and how much of the fertilizer needs to be applied on a per plant basis.
02
Are these robots suitable for all farm sizes?
Yes, our scalable solution works for any farm size, from small family-run farms to large agricultural operations. For larger fields, multiple robots can be used together to cover more area.
03
What about the costs and ROI?
Our cost structure is designed for a return on investment in less than a year, making it an economically viable option for farmers.
