We build autonomous robots for agriculture. We work with and for growers to help them move away from chemical-based processes and face the labor crisis that is transforming the face of agriculture.
In partnership with some of the largest vegetable growers in California, we are developing a mechanical weeding robot which drives itself throughout the field, distinguishes weeds among many varieties of different crops through machine learning and computer vision, and cut weeds out using knives in the ground.
After raising more than $6m in private funding, our team of 15 people (Stanford, Columbia and MIT alumni) is currently deploying the first set of machines to Californian farms.
