Future acquisition
Platform sale only after technical qualification, applicable certification, and production structuring.
Validation strategy
How Caatinga Rover can reach the producer
The product is not for sale yet. At this stage, we validate technology, need, and access models compatible with family farming.
Business hypotheses
Models that will be tested before the commercial offer
Shared use
Model to be studied with cooperatives to share investment, usage agenda, and support.
Robot as a service
Assisted operation as a hypothesis to lower the initial barrier and learn from real use.
Validation pilots
Format available at this stage for demonstrations, test areas, and technically scoped projects.
There is no defined sale, rental, or service price. Any amount discussed in technical conversations will be preliminary and not a commercial offer.
Institutional entities in articulation
A proposed network to reduce technical risk and adoption
- Embrapa — planned articulation for agronomic design and validation independent.
- IFCE Fortaleza and IFCE Tauá — planned collaboration in robotics, energy, instrumentation, and technical training.
- Ematerce — planned liaison for demand, extension services, and farmer outreach.
- Cooperatives and associations — planned liaison for co-creation, test areas, and usability evaluation.
The cited organizations are not presented as confirmed partners. Roles, teams, and deliverables depend on formal letters, agreements, and instruments still under construction.
After TRL 8
Commercial scale is a later stage
Industrialization, support network, rural credit and international expansion will only be structured after operational demonstration, applicable certification and definition of real production and support costs.
