An autonomous tool carrier for sustainable and bio-intensive vegetable production. Developed to bring efficiency to small agricultural producers through environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions.
The “BIO-TAC” project was created in response to the real needs of small agricultural producers in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro for efficient and environmentally friendly solutions in agriculture. Our goal is clear: to develop and introduce to the market an autonomous tool carrier that promotes sustainable agriculture, reduces CO₂ emissions, and preserves biodiversity.
Partnership and support: The project is implemented by a team of experts from three countries and is supported through the “EmBRACE” activity, which is part of the Interreg VI-A IPA programme. Together, we are working to make our cross-border region more resilient to shared economic challenges through the application of modern technologies.

Implementation period
BIO-TAC is primarily intended for integrated and organic production of vegetables, flowers, and medicinal and aromatic plants. Its main role is the transport and precise operation of various working tools, directly increasing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of your production. Thanks to its dedicated design and movement through production areas, this innovative device can carry various tools, such as cultivators for soil cultivation, milling blades, small ploughs for opening channels for sowing and planting, mini seeders, equipment for weed elimination using lasers and gas flame burners, and more.
Instead of expensive GPS and AI solutions, BIO-TAC intelligently uses existing landmarks within the production area for navigation, making it accessible to every farm.
Joystick control enables maximum precision without the need for engineering expertise.
The technology and software are open-source, allowing continuous improvements by the community of farmers and engineers.
Robotization in agriculture is no longer a luxury, but a prerequisite for the transition to modern and highly productive farming. This process involves automating physically demanding tasks using modern equipment combined with smart algorithms.
Increased speed and precision of work operations.
Reduced need for manual labour and savings on input materials.
Minimal soil degradation and zero CO₂ emissions directly on the field.
