Oscar
Osiris Agriculture · France
French autonomous field robot from Osiris Agriculture (Illies, Hauts-de-France; founded 2021) that self-navigates row crops via RTK-GNSS and delivers precision irrigation plus fertigation — nitrogen/potassium dosed into the water — through a foldable boom, generating its own electricity from the water flow as it runs (solar, diesel-generator or battery backup when off-water). Commercially sold since 2025 in northern France through distributor Verhaeghe Irrigation; Osiris itself lists crop-protection spraying as a future capability, not a current one.
Available in: France
At a glance
Best for
Large-scale potato and vegetable growers in northern France (or similar row-crop regions) who already run hose-reel/boom irrigation and want to automate it while adding fertigation — the distributor cites roughly 25 ha as the economic break-even.
Avoid if
You actually need a herbicide/pesticide sprayer — despite the "Spraying" category here, Oscar applies water and liquid fertiliser, not crop-protection chemicals (Osiris lists that as a future roadmap item only). Also avoid if you farm outside France, where no distributor network is confirmed, or if unsupervised autonomous operation without CE-marking confirmation is a hard requirement.
Not suitable for
Orchards, vineyards, berries, dairy or poultry operations; any buyer specifically seeking a crop-protection/pesticide applicator; farms below the roughly 25 ha economic threshold; markets outside France (Belgium/Germany expansion was described as "in partnership talks", not confirmed sales, as of the sources checked).
Specifications
Power sourceElectric — onboard water-turbine generator produces power from the irrigation flow itself; solar panels, a diesel generator, or batteries back it up when not connected to a water source
Required tractor powerNot required for operation (self-propelled); road transport between fields via tractor tow, with regulatory approval for that still pending per one source
Dimensions5.08 m long x 3.05 m wide x 3.43 m high; foldable boom extends to 40-44 m depending on configuration (sources vary between 24-40 m and up to 44 m)
Weight12,000 kg
Min farm sizeRoughly 25 ha (economic break-even point cited by French distributor Verhaeghe Irrigation)
ProductivityRoughly 25-40 ha irrigated per week (sources vary), applying about 20-30 mm of water per week; water flow up to 60 m3/h
Max speed100-250 m/h field travel speed
SensorsRTK-GNSS plus inertial measurement unit for centimetre-level autonomous navigation; onboard cameras for plant growth and soil-moisture monitoring
Connectivity4G/5G onboard connectivity; integrates with third-party decision-support/irrigation-scheduling tools
Compatible toolsFoldable irrigation boom (24-44 m) with drip pendulums spaced every metre and automated height/flow control; onboard reel deploys and retrieves the supply hose (manufacturer site states up to 700 m; third-party listings cite 600-900 m); in-line fertigation injects nitrogen and potassium into the irrigation water

Business modelDirect purchase; base price ~€250,000 HT (excl. tax), indicative €200,000- 300,000 range reported depending on configuration (wheel count, boom width, hose length, tyres, guidance system) — versus roughly €100,000 HT for a traditional hose-reel-with-boom irrigator. Sold in northern France through distributor Verhaeghe Irrigation (Montdidier, Somme); Osiris Agriculture also sells and demonstrates directly.
Ongoing costNot disclosed — no published subscription, per-hectare service fee, or consumables schedule found beyond the buyer-configured hardware options at purchase.
MaintenanceNot disclosed — no published service-plan terms found; Osiris and Verhaeghe Irrigation run sales and on-farm demonstrations, but no maintenance contract details are public.

Water use vs. conventional hose-reel/cannon irrigationWater useper irrigation season · Osiris Agriculture co-founder Henri Desesquelles, quoted in Reussir Machinisme
~-30%Vendor-claimedOpen-air hose-reel gun or boom irrigator → Osiris' stated commitment to customers: about 30% less water for the same result
Labour/setup time for irrigationLabourper irrigation season · Osiris Agriculture company site
Oscar's continuous autonomous operation — about 1 intervention per 13 ha; 7 hours of labour freed per hectare during the July-August irrigation seasonVendor-claimedwas: Traditional hose-reel systems — about 6 operator interventions to irrigate 13 ha (roughly one repositioning per 2 ha)

EU context
CE markingNot confirmed — no explicit CE-marking statement found on the manufacturer site or in trade press. Osiris is reported to be developing separate "autonomy certification" to run the robot without an on-site supervisor, implying current commercial operation is supervised.
EU Machinery RegulationPlaced on the French/EU market commercially since 2025; would fall under the autonomous-machine provisions of Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, but no explicit compliance statement was found in the sources checked.
AI Act relevanceLikely limited-risk — RTK-GNSS autonomous navigation plus onboard cameras for plant/soil monitoring; no EU AI Act risk classification has been published.
CAP subsidyPrecision water and fertiliser dosing could support CAP eco-scheme water-efficiency measures; no direct CAP linkage has been published by Osiris.
