FarmWise, a pioneering autonomous agricultural robot business, today announced that it has raised 14.5 million. The proceeds will be used to develop robotic engineering and technical groups, as well as to intensify research and development.

Farmers around the world need green processes that take into account the growing demand for organic products and expand regulatory initiatives for more sustainable agriculture.

FarmWise stand-alone robots with artificial intelligence support are designed to solve the most pressing problems of farmers, performing various farming functions - starting with weeding and providing individual care for each plant they touch.

Using machine learning models, computer vision and precision mechanical tools, sophisticated FarmWise robots gently remove weeds from the fields, providing crops with the best opportunities for growth and elimination of harmful chemicals. To date, FarmWise robots effectively remove weeds from more than 10 million crops.

Sébastien Boyer, co-founder and CEO of FarmWise, commented: “Every day, one FarmWise robot can weed crops to feed an average-sized city of about 400,000 inhabitants.

We are now expanding the scope and depth of our patented plant detection technology to help farmers with most of the agricultural processes and their large harvests. ”
