Orchard Robotics, founded in 2022, applies artificial intelligence and computer vision to agriculture. The company's core mission is to automate American farms through precision data collection, aiming to provide growers with complete visibility into their crops. This approach is designed to support more profitable, efficient, and sustainable farming operations. The company's founder is a Thiel Fellow with a background rooted in family farming.
Its primary products form a integrated system for orchard management. FruitScope Vision is hardware that mounts on standard tractors and farm vehicles to capture ultra-high-resolution images of every fruit as the equipment moves through the fields. FruitScope OS is the corresponding software platform where growers can analyze the collected data to make informed decisions on pruning, spraying, irrigation, and harvesting.
The company is based in the United States and has raised over $25 million in funding. Its work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and precision agriculture, focusing on solving fundamental data gaps in crop management.
