Tom is an autonomous field robot that scans crops, maps weeds, and provides detailed field analytics using AI and computer vision, enabling precision agriculture and input reduction.
The Tom Field Robot is an advanced autonomous scouting platform designed by Small Robot Company to deliver ultra-precise, field-level crop insights. Using high-resolution imagery and machine learning, Tom maps every plant across the field, detecting weeds, pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies at an individual plant level.
Built for low impact and high accuracy, Tom operates autonomously across all soil types and conditions, collecting valuable agronomic data without compacting the soil. The insights gathered by Tom enable farmers to take targeted, data-driven actions, reducing input costs and improving yield outcomes—all while supporting more sustainable farming.
👁️ Plant-by-Plant Scanning – Captures detailed images of every plant and weed across the field
🧠 AI-Powered Analysis – Delivers actionable insights via cloud-based software
🚜 Autonomous Operation – Navigates fields with precision GPS and obstacle detection
🌱 Non-Compacting Lightweight Design – Preserves soil structure and health
📊 Field-Level Mapping – Visualizes crop health, weed pressure, and growth stages
🔄 Seamless Integration – Works with other Small Robot Company systems (e.g., Dick and Harry)
Make precise input decisions based on real-time plant data
Reduce chemical use by targeting only where needed
Increase yields with better-informed crop management
Monitor crops continuously with minimal human labor
