ASX RELEASE
VECTION SIGNS $520K AI AGRITECH PARTNERSHIP
Vection Technologies Ltd (ASX:VR1, OTC:VCTNY), ("Vection" or the "Company"), the INTEGRATED XR[] company, is pleased to announce a strategic development agreement with Rider Srl, part of the Procmatech Group, to co-develop the ACRobot[®] modular robotics platform for open-field agriculture . The $520k agreement combines Vection’s AI capabilities with Rider’s mechanical and mechatronic engineering expertise, targeting transformative applications in precision farming and beyond.
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
$520k strategic partnership to develop the ACRobot[®] platform for autonomous open-field agriculture, backed by strong commercial potential.
-
Targeting the high-growth agritech sector, including agricultural robotics (projected to reach $48B by 2030[1] ) and precision farming ($24B by 2030[2] ).
-
Vection to deliver a full AI technology stack, including machine learning, real-time image recognition, sensor data processing, and autonomous field operations.
-
Rider (Procmatech Group) to design and build a modular, versatile robotic system capable of automating a wide range of field tasks to boost efficiency and sustainability.
-
Platform architecture enables cross-sector deployment in logistics, manufacturing, pharma, and healthcare robotics.
-
Expands addressable market into emerging economies where labour shortages, climate pressure, and food security are accelerating agritech adoption.
-
Aligns with global demand for AI-powered automation across agriculture and industrial sectors.
OVERVIEW
ACRobot[®] signifies a breakthrough in modular robotic systems tailored for open-field agriculture, integrating AI-powered perception with mechanical flexibility. It is engineered to enhance essential farming tasks, from crop surveillance to autonomous operation, aiming to reduce labour demand, boost sustainability, and maximise yields through smart automation.
The potential market goes beyond developed nations. In emerging regions such as Latin America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe, the combination of increasing food demand, workforce shortages, and climate variability is heightening the need for automation to strengthen food supply chains. ACRobot[®] presents a scalable solution to these issues by providing intelligent, flexible machines that can adjust to diverse crop types, terrains, and regional conditions.
Under the partnership, Vection will develop a comprehensive AI platform that supports ACRobot[®] , integrating data from visual systems, GPS, and environmental sensors while enabling real-time autonomy through proprietary algorithms. Rider Srl, part of the Procmatech Group, will spearhead mechanical design and system integration, drawing on its extensive expertise in mechatronics and robotics.

Although agriculture is the primary focus, the system's architecture enables seamless expansion into other industries. Prospective applications encompass predictive maintenance in manufacturing, automation in logistics, quality assurance in high-precision assembly, and assistive robotics within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. With a modular framework, collaborative arms, and AI-driven flexibility, ACRobot[®] emerges as a versatile platform designed for global implementation.
The ACRobot[®] platform seamlessly integrates with autonomous drones, facilitating coordinated ground-air operations. This paves the way for sophisticated applications like synchronized crop monitoring, infrastructure assessment, environmental sensing, and quick response activities. By fusing terrestrial and aerial robotics with intelligent autonomy, ACRobot[®] serves as a versatile platform that can change the dynamics of interaction among humans, machines, and environments across various industries.
Revenue from this agreement is expected to be recognised in the first half of FY26. Work under the agreement commences immediately, the agreement can be terminated with 3 months' notice from either party.
Gianmarco Biagi, Managing Director of Vection Technologies, commented: " We are thrilled to partner with Rider and the Procmatech Group on this groundbreaking ACRobot[®] project. This collaboration underscores Vection's commitment to extending our AI technology into the realm of robotics. ”
“ By developing the 'intelligent heart' of ACRobot[®] , we will demonstrate how advanced AI algorithms can revolutionise openfield farming-from real-time image recognition of crops to autonomous decision-making on farm operations. We believe ACRobot[®] can set a new benchmark for smart agricultural robotics, addressing a multi-billion-dollar market need in precision farming. Moreover, the AI and human-machine interaction innovations stemming from this project won't stop at agriculture; they will be transferable to other domains, powering next-generation social robots and intelligent machines across industries."
Anna Rita Delzotto, Managing Director of Rider Srl (Procmatech Group), added:
" Joining forces with Vection is a significant step forward for the ACRobot[®] initiative. Rider and the Procmatech Group bring decades of engineering expertise in mechatronics and automation. By integrating Vection's cutting-edge AI capabilities, we can now accelerate the development of a truly intelligent robotic system for agriculture. ”
“ We see enormous growth potential in agricultural robotics. Through this partnership, we aim to deliver a solution that not only improves farming outcomes but also serves as a model for how AI-driven robots can be deployed in other sectors. "
