Orchard Robotics, founded in 2022, develops artificial intelligence and computer vision systems for the agriculture sector. The company's stated mission is to build an "AI farmer" that automates farms through precision data collection. It has raised over $25 million in funding.
The company's products centre on two integrated platforms. FruitScope Vision is a hardware system that mounts on tractors and other farm vehicles to capture ultra-high-resolution images of individual fruits as they pass through orchards. FruitScope OS is the companion software platform, where growers analyse the collected data to inform decisions on pruning, spraying, irrigation, and harvesting.
Orchard Robotics was founded by a recipient of the Thiel Fellowship. The company operates in the precision agriculture industry, applying computer vision and AI technologies to crop management.
