Bonsai Robotics, a developer of AI-first autonomy software for agriculture, has unveiled its new Amiga lineup at FIRA USA 2025, marking a significant step in integrating vision-based intelligence into field robotics. The launch, which follows the company’s acquisition of farm-ng in July, includes three machines — Amiga Flex, Amiga Trax, and Amiga Max — all powered by Bonsai Intelligence, the company’s proprietary autonomy platform.
Chief Executive Officer Tyler Niday said the new lineup represents the company’s effort to unify its software and hardware systems into a scalable, adaptable platform designed for diverse agricultural and industrial applications. “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,” Niday said. “This integration unlocks a new era of capability where growers can realize the value of autonomy through machine forms that are tailored for their specific environments and applications.”
The Amiga Flex, the first vehicle to be fully integrated with Bonsai Intelligence, is a modular and durable platform intended for both research and field deployment. Roughly the size of a small ATV, it enables users to move rapidly from prototype testing to real-world application. It can perform tasks such as towing, weeding, spraying, and material transport, and is designed for flexibility in agricultural, research, and light-industrial operations.
Each unit is equipped with Bonsai’s compute and sensor suite, providing vision-based navigation, perception, and task execution through a software subscription model. The field-ready chassis offers traction and balance for varied terrains and supports an 800-pound payload, a 700-pound lift via a Category 0 three-point system, and a 1,600-pound towing capacity. The platform’s electric powertrain delivers more than eight hours of runtime per battery pack, with swappable batteries designed for continuous, zero-emission operation. Open interfaces allow users to connect a range of sensors, tools, and implements through standard power and data ports, promoting interoperability and customization.
Alongside the Flex, Bonsai introduced the Amiga Trax and Amiga Max, both built for autonomous operation in rugged and diverse environments. The Amiga Trax is a low-clearance, modular vehicle designed for towing, spraying, and hauling on uneven or sloped terrain, offering strong traction and stability for vineyards, orchards, and non-agricultural industries requiring off-road automation. The Amiga Max, a more powerful variant, combines heavy-duty capacity with precision maneuverability for spraying, lifting, and towing across large farms and mixed-terrain operations. It features a Category 1 three-point system and is available with a hybrid-electric option to enable continuous, 24-hour performance.
The full Amiga range runs on Bonsai Intelligence, a vision-based autonomy system composed of two core layers — Bonsai Autonomy and Bonsai Pilot. Bonsai Autonomy functions as the on-machine AI that allows vehicles to perceive, interpret, and act within their environment, while Bonsai Pilot is a cloud-based interface that enables growers to plan, monitor, and manage their autonomous operations in real time.
Unlike traditional autonomy systems that rely heavily on GPS or pre-mapped routes, Bonsai Intelligence uses an approach modeled on human learning. Trained on operational data from over 500,000 acres across multiple continents and crop types, the platform can handle unpredictable conditions such as dust, debris, and low visibility. This adaptability enables the system to operate effectively in complex, dynamic agricultural settings.
“Bonsai Intelligence has been proven in commercial deployments around the world and now powers our new Amiga lineup,” Niday said. “This allows us to deliver affordable, high-performance autonomy that works across mixed fleets. Whether upgrading existing machines or choosing a Bonsai-enabled system, our platform meets customers where they are and scales with them. It helps manage all equipment and operations from one connected platform, anytime, anywhere.”
The introduction of the Amiga lineup comes at a time when the agricultural robotics sector is rapidly evolving, driven by labor shortages, sustainability goals, and the need for precision operations. By combining its AI platform with rugged, modular vehicles, Bonsai Robotics aims to lower the barriers to field automation while providing scalable solutions for research, commercial farming, and industrial use.
With its unified software-hardware ecosystem, Bonsai is positioning itself as a key player in the next generation of autonomous field systems. The company’s goal is to make intelligent, adaptable autonomy accessible across industries, helping accelerate the global shift toward data-driven, sustainable farming and off-road operations.
