Against the record

Bonsai autonomy and Amiga robots, from Bonsai Robotics, is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. Delivered and paid for, beyond pilots. The latest milestone on its record is from 31 Aug 2026: Bonsai said it had sold more than 400 units in total.

From the video's description

Towing through dense specialty crop orchards requires serious stability, traction, and intelligent navigation. In this video, watch the Amiga Max navigate a pomegranate field completely autonomously—pulling a trailer loaded with concrete bags to simulate the weight of full harvest fruit bins. Operating 100% driverless, the Amiga Max utilizes its advanced chassis articulation and 4-wheel drive/4-wheel steering system to maintain smooth traction and alignment across tough, uneven terrain and under tight tree canopies. Driven by Bonsai Intelligence, our vision-based embodied AI stack, the platform executes precise path planning and real-time obstacle detection without relying on fragile GPS setups. Whether you are managing tree crops, bedded layouts, or trellised rows, the Amiga Max is built to scale your labor, cut operating costs, and deliver reliable heavy-duty performance year-round. …
