Founded in 2015, San Carlos, California startup Iron Ox has taken in $6.1 million in funding so far to develop robotic farms that will churn out better produce, everywhere. We decided to include them on this list when we saw that they’ve been featured in all kinds of media publications with headlines like “the first farm in America run entirely by robots.” Turns out, it’s not fully autonomous but they have certainly taken the use of robotics pretty seriously. That’s according to an article by The Verge which talks about a 1,000-pound robot porter, named Angus, that moves pallets of plants around, and another contraption that moves single plants around using a robotic arm:

los ranchos del futuro usan significativamente menos agua y tierra en comparación con las granjas de campo convencionales. Y ubicamos nuestras granjas en ciudades, lo que da como resultado cadenas de suministro más cortas que reducen las millas de alimentos y ayudan a minimizar el desperdicio de alimentos. Nunca usamos pesticidas ni OGM, y todas nuestras instalaciones cuentan con la certificación GAP del USDA para una seguridad alimentaria y operativa superior.

Aero farms
AeroFarms construye granjas de Investigación y Desarrollo (I+D) como centros líderes de excelencia que se especializan en la intersección de la horticultura, la ingeniería y la ciencia de datos para avanzar en nuestros aprendizajes y conocimientos. Habiendo cultivado más de 550 variedades de verduras hasta la fecha, utilizamos las últimas tecnologías de detección y ciencia de datos en nuestras granjas, así como herramientas como visión artificial e inteligencia artificial. Nuestra granja de I+D en Newark, Nueva Jersey, cultiva nuevos productos para comercializarlos y nuestra nueva granja de I+D en Abu Dhabi albergará experiencia en fenotipado, reproducción avanzada, análisis fitoquímico y más.
70,000 sq ft
AeroFarms es pionera en ranchos verticales interiores comerciales a gran escala. Con más de una década de creciente experiencia, abrieron su primera granja comercial en Ithaca, Nueva York, luego nos expandimos a Newark, Nueva Jersey, y ahora estamos listos para abrir nuestra granja comercial más nueva en Danville, Virginia, utilizando la quinta generación de nuestra granja. tecnología. Ya sea dando nueva vida a espacios urbanos como una acería abandonada o construyendo una granja interior para revitalizar un entorno más rural, sus ranchos tienen un diseño modular y tienen la capacidad de escalar.

Inteligencia artificial, productos genuinos
Cada instalación de Iron Ox utiliza robótica e inteligencia artificial para garantizar que cada planta individual reciba los niveles óptimos de luz solar, agua y nutrientes. Esta precisión con respecto a nuestros insumos también conduce a una cantidad mucho menor de desperdicio en cada etapa del proceso. Los datos que recopilamos continuamente de nuestras plantas se utilizan para refinar constantemente nuestro proceso, mejorando la calidad y cantidad de la planta, al mismo tiempo que se reducen los impactos ambientales.
We’d like to introduce our mobile support robot, Grover, and share why robotics will be an integral part of the future of sustainable farming.
Grover is not your average farmer. It can lift more than 1,000 pounds and assists in the monitoring, watering, and harvesting of a wide variety of crops, from leafy greens to strawberries.
Grover is a key component of our broader farming ecosystem, a closed-loop system that optimizes plant yield, reduces growth cycle time, and maximizes crop quality. The result is delicious, nutritious, locally sourced fruits and vegetables that currently cost about the same as produce from conventional farms, with substantially lower environmental impacts.
“We are applying technology to minimize the amount of land, water and energy needed to nourish a growing population,” said Brandon Alexander, who grew up picking cotton, potatoes and peanuts on his family’s farm in Texas, then became a software engineer who worked on drones and other projects at Google and elsewhere. “Our short-term goal is to mitigate the impact of climate change on the agriculture system. And we won’t stop until we achieve our long-term mission of making the produce sector carbon negative.”
Growth + Versatility = Grover
Grover is the result of our industry-shaping team of roboticists, plant scientists, and engineers that use artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, and robotics to grow more with less, leading to less food waste and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Grover allows us to change crops at a moment’s notice to meet the needs of nearby grocery stores that, for instance, experience a spike in demand for specific seasonal or even out-of-season produce.
Grover makes the massive scale of our facilities possible. Hygienic, durable, and sleek, Grover employs a differential drive system, multiple LiDAR systems, upward and forward-facing camera systems. Grover is additionally equipped with a lift system to autonomously move 1,000-pound, 6-by-6-foot modules of hydroponically fed plants throughout the greenhouse. Modules are regularly transported by Grover to a scanning booth for inspection and based on the results, they are taken for additional water, nutrients, or harvesting.
“Designing and building Grover was a complex multi-year project, solving for many challenges in hardware, software, autonomy, and mobility. We assembled a world-class team to achieve this,” said Sarah Osentoski, Iron Ox Senior Vice President of Engineering. “Our goal is to make Iron Ox a center for excellence in agriculture with a core competence in artificial intelligence and machine learning.”
Nuestro enfoque único para la agricultura de precisión no solo utiliza menos agua, menos energía y emite menos CO2, sino que también mejora la calidad de los alimentos que producimos. Nuestro proceso nos permite cultivar exactamente lo que se necesita, eliminar el desperdicio y construir un suministro de alimentos ambientalmente sostenible.
Our data models have enabled us to better estimate our crop yields, so we can schedule our harvest more precisely, and deliver exactly what’s been ordered. This leads directly to less waste: we ship exactly what’s needed, where it’s needed.
Our own data showed us ways to reduce the amount of time plants needed to spend in their initial growth phase (called ‘propagation’). This means we can grow and harvest faster, increasing overall efficiency.

We would like to introduce you to Max, another member of our robotic greenhouse crew.
Max is a filling station robot is designed to deliver and monitor each module’s water, nutrient mix, and pH levels with speed and precision. Working in tandem and contact-free with our autonomous mobile robot Grover, this lets us be fast, efficient, and food-safe. The process starts by Max filling each 6’ x6’ plant module with a varietal-specific mix of water and nutrients in under two minutes, and as the plants grow, Max is a key part of how we monitor and refill to provide exactly what the plants need. This is a key part of our growing system that enables our plant scientists to analyze data from thousands of modules to optimize plant yield, expand growth cycles, and maximize crop quality. The result is delicious, nutritious, locally sourced fruits and vegetables with substantially lower environmental impacts.
A Formula 1 Pit Stop
Our robots are the Formula 1 pit crew of greenhouses. Grover transports empty plant modules across acres of greenhouse space to dock and be filled or refilled as needed. Max’s system uses sensors to precisely fill the required volume and nutrient mix, and sees these modules again throughout the plant’s growth cycle to analyze and top-off water and nutrients. During these checkups, we take small samples from each module – now weighing about 1,000 pounds – into a reservoir equipped with sensors to measure the nutrient content and pH of the water. Max then adds exactly what’s needed to match its target settings. When Max is done, Grover takes the plant module back to its respective place in the greenhouse, and rolls off to get the next one.
We get our fill from Data
The data that we collect is part of what allows our plant science team to better understand how plants are consuming water and nutrients, and at what rate. Our plant science team uses this growing database to inform optimization strategies. For example, when Grover brings a module in for a checkup, the amount of water and nutrient content may vary based on different conditions, and the team may see a trend that provides valuable information on water or nutrient usage for each plant varietal. This integration into our proprietary closed-loop greenhouse system enables the growth of an already robust agricultural database. By using artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and hydroponics, we are changing the agriculture sector to be more efficient while eliminating waste and other environmental impacts.
