Flex-Ro, which first entered fields in 2019 to measure crop traits, can be controlled remotely and operated autonomously. It has been designed to be modular and reconfigurable, with different modes of steering ability available on the fly. Flex-Ro is a robotic planter based on Santosh Pitla’s tractor platform works its way through a field at the Rogers Memorial Farm east of Lincoln. April 27, 2023.
