Quadruped robots are solving one of farming's toughest challenges: getting fresh crops from remote fields to market. Chinese robotics company DEEP Robotics is using their Lynx M20 robot dogs to navigate steep mountain terrain that traditional farm equipment can't reach.
A California robotics company will test its harvest-helping robots at a real working farm, backed by the agriculture industry's first sponsored residency program. The partnership could help solve one of farming's toughest challenges: finding enough workers during harvest season.
Britain is backing the future of farming with £20 million for robots that can plant, tend, and harvest crops without seasonal workers. The tech could transform agriculture while solving one of farming's biggest headaches.
England is opening applications for £20 million in funding to develop robots and automated systems that could revolutionize farming, from mushroom picking to vineyard mapping. The program has already helped create the world's first commercial robotic mushroom harvester.
A new robot is tackling one of farming's worst jobs while helping small growers who can't afford tractors. The remote-controlled rover sprays crops between narrow vineyard rows, keeping workers safe from chemicals.
A new 24-acre innovation center in Salinas, California is giving agricultural robotics startups the farmland, equipment, and expert support they need to turn promising ideas into real-world solutions. Twelve companies from around the world are already testing AI-powered weeders, pruning robots, and smart farming systems that could transform how we grow food.
A University of Essex spinout just raised over €1.17 million to bring affordable farming robots to growers struggling with labour shortages. The AI-powered machines can gently pick fruits and vegetables, making advanced automation accessible to farms of all sizes.
Marks and Spencer just brought three vertically farmed salads to stores, grown by robots in controlled indoor environments that slash water use by 96% and eliminate pesticides entirely. The greens stay fresh five days longer and never need washing.
A major agriculture company is using robot dogs equipped with thermal cameras to protect 8,000 acres of valuable corn crops in Hawaii. The technology shows how AI-powered security is moving from military applications into everyday farming operations.
Mining robots are getting a green makeover in Australia, autonomously patrolling massive solar farms to spot problems before they become costly failures. The technology is turning grueling manual inspections into skilled tech jobs while keeping clean energy flowing.
Carbon Robotics just unveiled AI that recognizes individual plants in fields, letting farmers water, fertilize, and protect only the crops that need it. This breakthrough could slash waste while boosting harvests across millions of acres.
Unitree Robotics delivered more than 5,500 walking humanoid robots in 2025, outpacing American competitors by over 35 times. The milestone signals rapid progress in making advanced robotics accessible and affordable worldwide.
After watching his grandmother struggle in scorching fields, Trivikram Kumar built AI robots that now help Indian farmers plant, weed, and harvest with less pain and better results. His electric machines are transforming agriculture across three states while cutting chemical use and costs.
Burro's agricultural robots now work reliably in rain, dust, and extreme heat after confronting real-world challenges most robotics companies avoid. Their breakthrough could unlock autonomous systems for ports, construction sites, and outdoor industries.
Missouri soybean farmers are using drones, autonomous sprayers, and robotic weeders to make farming more efficient and sustainable. New genetic breakthroughs are also helping them fight crop-damaging pests that cost millions each year.
Autonomous excavators are hammering 1,000 steel piles daily into muddy Louisiana terrain, building a massive solar farm in record time. The robotic fleet tackles the toughest conditions while human crews focus on safer, more complex tasks.
As delivery robots roll through 20 US cities, they're creating an unexpected workforce of "robot wranglers" who rescue stuck bots, clean sensors, and keep fleets running. Charlie Snodgrass went from delivering food himself to managing the robots that replaced him—earning $54,000 a year in a job that didn't exist five years ago.
China's robotics industry exploded in 2025, shipping 18,000 humanoid robots worldwide—a 508% jump from the previous year. Inside a Beijing innovation park, robots are now threading needles, running marathons, and transforming how we think about AI's future.
A British photographer with no robotics training rallied friends to build a life-size walking robot using "air muscles" instead of motors. Their weekly spaghetti dinners and scrap-yard finds launched a company that's still pioneering robotics today.
Penn State's August farm show will showcase game-changing robots designed to solve agriculture's biggest challenge: finding enough workers. From tomato-picking machines to autonomous helpers, the technology is bringing real solutions to family farms.
