Autonomous field
systems for
row crops.

Aurox is an autonomous field systems company replacing broadcast field operations with plant-level autonomous action. Starting with resistant weed control in soy and corn, with recurring per-hectare economics.

01 — The Problem

The field has a
resistance problem.

Buva (Conyza spp.) is the most economically damaging weed in Brazilian soy. It is now resistant to glyphosate in over 25 countries. At least 6 major species have confirmed resistance across Brazil's soy belt — costing R$9B/year in losses. As resistance spreads, farmers are forced into heavier chemical applications at higher cost, lower efficacy, and mounting regulatory risk.

The current solution — broadcast spraying — treats the entire field to kill a fraction of weeds. It is expensive, wasteful, and accelerates resistance. There is no precision mechanical alternative at scale. Until now.

A second structural driver is active: China's GACC quarantine standards are triggering phytosanitary rejections of Brazilian soy exports when quarantine weed seeds appear in harvested grain. Field-level elimination before seed set is the only durable solution — creating demand at the trading company level (Cargill, COFCO, CHS) in addition to the farm level.

02 — The Solution

ARX-1

ARX-1 is the Aurox robotic platform. It identifies and eliminates target weeds mechanically, plant by plant — using onboard computer vision, edge AI, and selective mechanical actuators. Zero cloud dependency. Zero herbicide. ByeBuva is the first commercial service built on it.

01
SENSE

Onboard RGB cameras continuously scan the terrain. Every plant captured, classified, and georeferenced — in real time, with no cloud dependency.

02
DECIDE

Embedded AI identifies buva at the plant level using a proprietary dataset built from Brazilian fields. Crop safe. Weed targeted. On-device inference only.

03
ACT

A selective mechanical arm descends on confirmed targets. Zero herbicide applied. The crop untouched. The job done — autonomously.

Edge AI No cloud Mechanical arm RaaS model
03 — Business Model

Robotics as
a Service.

Aurox operates the full stack — hardware, software, maintenance, and field operations. Farmers pay per hectare treated. Zero capital expenditure. Zero integration friction. We bring the system; they keep farming.

This model aligns our incentives with outcomes: we earn when the system runs, scales as fleet grows, and compounds as our dataset deepens with each season in the field.

R$150/ha Target price per hectare
~15ha Target daily coverage per system
Zero Herbicide applied

Where we are
right now.

Building · Pre-operational
Q2 2026
Company built, spec locked

Aurox Inova Simples registered (April 2026). ARX-1 technical specification — chassis, drivetrain, perception, and weeding mechanism — locked from first principles.

Q3 2026
Subsystems on the bench

Weeding mechanism, computer-vision stack, and autonomous-navigation subsystems built and tested on the bench. Independent validation before integration.

Q4 2026
Full prototype in real fields

Integrated ARX-1 prototype runs its first tests in live Brazilian soy fields. Mechanical weeding accuracy, navigation reliability, and operational endurance measured under production conditions.

2027
First commercial operation

First commercial RaaS deployment during safra 27/28. Revenue per hectare treated. Operational playbook and fleet built for scale into subsequent seasons.

Built by a team with roots in robotics, computer vision, and Brazilian agribusiness. We are heads-down on subsystem validation and the first field prototype.
