Building physical AI
for precision pruning.

Oxobot is an Indian physical AI and agricultural robotics startup building fully autonomous precision grape pruning. Our system is being developed to perceive a vineyard, decide where to cut, and execute each cut. Built in Nashik, with the ambition to serve vineyards worldwide.

01 / THE MISSION

Give every vine the attention of an expert.

Pruning is not simply cutting. It is a time-sensitive biological decision that shapes yield, fruit quality and the next season’s growth. Oxobot is turning that skilled decision into physical intelligence.

02 / THE PROBLEM

When pruning waits,
the crop does too.

Vineyard pruning depends on scarce skilled labour and a narrow seasonal window. A delay can ripple through the entire crop cycle.

03 / THE INNOVATION

A pruning decision,
made physical.

Oxobot combines vision, agronomy logic and precise robotic action in one continuous loop—designed for Indian vineyards and real outdoor variability.

01
3D depth camera scanning a grapevine

Perceive

Stereo and depth cameras map the vine structure and identify trunks, cordons, canes and candidate cut points.

02
3D AI system selecting a grapevine cut point

Decide

Agronomy rules and Oxobot’s AI convert plant structure into a deliberate, explainable pruning decision.

03
3D robotic arm pruning a grapevine cane

Prune

A controlled cutting mechanism autonomously executes each selected cut with precision.

ALREADY DEVELOPED

Autonomy is not just our ambition.

Oxobot has already developed and demonstrated an autonomous agricultural ground robot powered by an in-house robotics and autonomy stack. Precision pruning builds on that working foundation.

  • ✓ Outdoor autonomous navigation
  • ✓ Agricultural spraying and transport platform
  • ✓ Modular foundation for new field tasks
04 / PILOT TARGETS TO VALIDATE

Designed for measurable field impact.
