Agricultural robotics · my main project

Kheti Insight

My main project: a field robot I am building to bring practical technology closer to farmers, exploring how sensing, mobility and automation can support everyday agricultural work. It is also the project behind my patent work.

01

The challenge

What I saw.

I kept noticing that farm technology is often expensive, complex or disconnected from the practical realities of smaller farms.

02

My approach

How I responded.

I started with focused use cases, kept the prototype understandable, and combined simple mobility, sensing and useful field observations before adding any complexity.

03

What I learned

What the work revealed.

A farming robot should be designed around the farmer's workflow—not around the number of features I can add to it.

How it works

A mobile assistant for the field.

Kheti Insight moves through farmland collecting environmental information that can support better irrigation planning and more sustainable farming practices.

Evidence, not exaggeration

An honest view of
what exists.

I would rather show what exists, what is in progress and what still needs documenting than overstate anything.
