05 · Axis — Convex Robótica
Axis — a robot for agriculture and livestock.
Axis is Convex's robotic platform designed to perform repetitive, hazardous or physically demanding tasks in fields, pastures and rural facilities. By combining autonomous navigation, computer vision and mission control, Axis operates consistently under variable conditions, freeing teams for higher-value work and reducing reliance on specialized field labor.
Role in the system
The physical action layer.
Axis executes on the ground what the platform plans: autonomous navigation between rows, localized input application, monitoring and light transport — recording every intervention with position and context.
Modules

Why robotics in agriculture
Precision agriculture depends on data and repeatable execution. Robots like Axis turn decisions into actions on the ground, eliminating human variability, speeding up operational cycles and generating detailed records of every intervention.
01
Reduced dependence on critical labor
Tasks like monitoring, counting and light transport are now performed autonomously, easing bottlenecks during peak seasons and in regions with a shortage of qualified operators.
02
Standardized execution
Every mission follows predefined parameters for speed, route, dosage and points of interest, ensuring consistency across fields, shifts and work stations.
03
Operational safety
Axis can be sent into hard-to-reach areas, slopes, contaminated zones or places with heavy machinery, keeping crews out of risk zones.
04
Field data collection
Onboard sensors and cameras record imagery, geolocation and terrain conditions, feeding Nexa M1 with information for analysis and recommendations.
05
Continuous operation
Unlike human crews, the robot maintains a constant pace over extended windows, as long as power and weather conditions stay within safe limits.
06
Sustainability
Targeted applications and optimized routes reduce input consumption, soil compaction and emissions associated with unnecessary rework and travel.
Process automation
Axis doesn't just replace labor: it structures processes. Missions are planned in Synapse Control, executed in the field and validated by Nexa M1, creating a closed loop of planning, execution and learning.
01
Digital planning
The operator defines areas, routes, stop points and expected actions. Synapse Control converts the plan into navigation and execution commands for Axis.
02
Autonomous navigation
Fusion of GPS, visual odometry and proximity sensors lets the robot move between rows, avoid obstacles and return to base without manual intervention.
03
Action on the ground
Depending on the configuration, Axis performs monitoring, small-load transport, targeted application or sensor readings, always logging what was done and where.
04
Feedback to Nexa M1
Images, telemetry and mission logs are synced to the intelligence platform, which identifies patterns, generates alerts and adjusts upcoming missions.
05
Fleet scalability
Multiple robots can operate in coordination, splitting areas and tasks. Synapse Control manages the fleet, preventing route conflicts and optimizing resource use.
06
Predictive maintenance
Telemetry from motors, batteries and sensors detects early wear and schedules maintenance before failures interrupt the operation.
Axis Applications
Axis is a modular robotic base. Its architecture allows tools and sensors to be adapted to different needs, from crop monitoring to herd management.
01
Crop monitoring
Travels across rows collecting imagery and data for pest detection, nutritional deficiencies, water stress and planting failures.
02
Targeted application
Can carry small reservoirs for spot application of inputs at locations identified by Nexa M1, cutting total volume and cost.
03
Animal counting and monitoring
In pastures and feedlots, performs automated counts and logs behavior, supporting herd management.
04
Light transport
Carries samples, tools and small inputs between points in the field, reducing repetitive trips by the crew.
05
Pasture mapping
Collects data on forage height, cover and distribution, supporting stocking rate planning and paddock rotation.
06
Infrastructure inspection
Checks fences, canals, internal roads, silos and equipment, logging anomalies for corrective maintenance.
Integration with the Convex Platform
Axis is part of an ecosystem. On its own, it performs tasks. Connected to Nexa M1, Synapse Control and Atmos, it becomes an intelligent field agent.
01
Nexa M1
Receives missions and recommendations generated by artificial intelligence from images, historical data and operational conditions.
02
Synapse Control
Manages routes, waypoints, exclusion zones and coordination with drones and other robots in joint operations.
03
Atmos
Conditions missions on real-time weather readings, avoiding operations in wind, rain or temperatures outside safe limits.
Measurable benefits
Adopting mobile robotics in the field delivers concrete operational results, even at small initial scale.
01
Fewer hours on repetitive tasks
Teams redirect time to analysis, maintenance and strategic decisions while the robot handles field work.
02
Greater daily coverage
The robot maintains a constant pace and can operate in windows that would otherwise be limited by staff availability.
03
Georeferenced data
Each reading is tied to an exact coordinate, enabling productivity maps, prescriptions and tracking over time.
04
Consistency across seasons
Historical mission records allow best practices to be replicated and results compared across production cycles.
05
Operation during strategic hours
Axis can carry out missions during periods defined by the operation, helping to take advantage of work windows and reduce interruptions in the property's routine.
06
Operational scalability
The same platform performs different tasks with specific modules, allowing the robot's use to expand as the property's demand grows.
