Learnings in Our Journey
Key insights, field breakthroughs, and hard-earned wisdom gathered along the path of building and scaling.
Commercial Chili Plantation Pilot & Field Robustness
Deploying 3 HarveXtro Mk-1 rovers across a 25-acre scotch bonnet farm taught us that real-world field conditions—mud, extreme heat, and unpredictable crop foliage—require ruggedized modular hardware and adaptive computer vision far beyond standard lab benchmarks.
High-Speed Edge AI Ripeness Classification in Direct Sunlight
Direct tropical sunlight causes severe optical glare. Benchmarking YOLOv10-tiny across 15,000 field images proved that active shadow illumination and polarized lens filtration are essential for achieving 98.4% ripeness classification precision.
Off-Grid Solar Charging Dock Integration
Autonomous self-docking solar recharging stations enabled 12-hour continuous harvesting operations without grid dependence, proving viable for remote rural farming estates.
Milestones
A timeline of key strategic accomplishments, technological breakthroughs, and growth benchmarks defining our journey.
First Working Prototype Validated
Completed Mk-1 functional prototype and verified soft-gripper dexterity in greenhouse conditions.
LeapGen Accelerator Induction
Selected for LeapGen 2026 Batch with grant backing and dedicated engineering mentorship.
25-Acre Commercial Farm Pilot
Successfully deployed autonomous harvesting rover across 25 acres with Lanka Agro Exports.
Our Memories
Highlights, candid event moments, hackathons, and memorable activities from our venture journey.
First Field Deployment Day with Local Farmers
Testing our early prototype alongside local chili growers in Anuradhapura. The farmers provided invaluable feedback on fruit picking delicacy and maneuverability through narrow crop rows.
All-Night Robotics Hackathon & End-Effector Calibration
Our engineering team pulling an all-nighter at Trace Expert City to calibrate the pneumatic soft-touch grippers before our first live agricultural demonstration.
National Agri-Innovation Expo Live Demonstration
Showcasing the HarveXtro Mk-1 autonomous rover to agronomists, university researchers, and agricultural exporters at the BMICH exhibition grounds.
