Autonomous scouting robots for row-crop agriculture that use computer vision to detect disease, pest pressure, and irrigation stress at the plant level — before it's visible to the human eye. Early trials with an almond grower showed 18% reduction in crop loss. The hardware is built; we need the software to scale.
What they bring
Working robot prototype with 200+ hours of field testing. Pilot agreement signed with a 3,000-acre almond operation. Mechanical engineering background and ag industry relationships.
What they need
A technical co-founder — ideally with ML/CV experience — to own the software stack: model training pipeline, edge inference on the robot, and the farmer-facing dashboard.
