The farm robotics sector has shown some resilience in 2024 and continues to bring innovative products to market, despite the challenging year for fundraising. In the first half of 2024, the AgFunder-defined Farm Robotics, Mechanization, and Equipment category has raised nearly $399 million, a 21.1 % decline from $505.5 million in H1 2023. [Disclosure: AgFunderNews’ parent company is AgFunder.]. However, this drop needs to be considered in the context of a general investment contraction that has characterized the last 18 months. Overall agrifoodtech investment was also down in H1 2024: 12.5% compared to H1 2023. The drop in funding to the robotics sector is more or less in line with general trends

Son yıllarda teknoloji alanındaki hızlı gelişmeler, robotlar ve yapay zeka teknolojilerinin farklı sektörlerdeki potansiyelini ve insan hayatına etkilerini gözler önüne seriyor. Bu teknolojilerin gelecekte yaşam tarzı, iş süreçleri ve toplumları kökten değiştirme potansiyeli taşıdığını gösteriyor. Robotlar ve yapay zeka, sağlık sektöründen eğitim alanına, üretimden taşımacılığa kadar birçok alanda daha güvenli, verimli ve etkili bir gelecek yaratma potansiyeli sunuyor. Bu teknolojiler, iş süreçlerini otomatikleştirme, hastaların sağlık izlemini geliştirme ve enerji verimliliğini artırma gibi alanlarda büyük faydalar sağlıyor. .

Startups have made strides in the last few years turning the theoretical benefits of ag robotics and automation into actual realities for farmers. But there’s still a ton of work to be done when it comes to making tools that are complex enough for smart spraying and laser weeding, but don’t also require a PhD to operate. Ergo, startups will have a lot of new hires to make in the coming years, many of them from the growing pool of talent coming out of college, said many at the FIRA USA 2023 farm robotics show in Salinas, California. Enter the annual Farm Robotics Challenge organized by the AI Institute for Next Gen Food Systems (AIFS), University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) initiative the VINE, the Fresno-Merced Future of Food (F3) coalition, and robotics company farm-ng
