Orchard Robotics, founded in 2022, develops computer vision and AI systems for precision agriculture. The company's core mission is to automate farm operations through detailed data collection, a goal rooted in its founder's family farming heritage and supported by a Thiel Fellowship background. It has raised over $25 million in funding to pursue this work.
The company's primary product is FruitScope Vision, a hardware system that mounts on tractors and other farm vehicles. As the vehicle moves through fields, the system captures ultra-high-resolution images of every piece of fruit it passes. This data feeds into FruitScope OS, a software platform where growers can analyze the collected information to make decisions regarding pruning, spraying, irrigation, and harvesting.
Orchard Robotics operates within the United States, focusing on the agriculture and farming sectors. Its technical work centers on computer vision, artificial intelligence, and precision agriculture data collection.
