FarmWise is a company in the United States that develops artificial intelligence-powered robots for sustainable farming at scale, with a focus on autonomous vegetable weeding. The company has raised $14.5 million in a Series A funding round, led by Calibrate Ventures, to grow its robotic engineering and operations teams and boost R&D efforts on plant-level detection and actuation capabilities. FarmWise’s autonomous robots use machine learning, computer vision, and high-precision mechanical tools to cleanly pick weeds from fields, leaving crops with the best opportunity to thrive while eliminating harmful chemical inputs. The company’s robots have efficiently removed weeds from over 10 million plants to date, helping farmers reduce their reliance on herbicides and address labor shortages. FarmWise is working to expand its database to support weeding for more crops, with the goal of making its autonomous weeding capabilities more widely applicable.
