Rowbot is redefining what’s possible for farmers by using robotics. Our first machine is a small, self-driving, multi-use platform that travels between rows of corn, removing height constraints imposed by a rapidly growing crop. Our Rowbots work in teams to apply nitrogen fertilizer in sync with corn needs, and seed cover crops into tall corn. Our machines serve as a great platform to collect valuable data, to inform both current and future work.

Thanks Brooke Blessington and the LANDWERX and Landus teams for featuring Rowbot Systems on the Grow podcast this week! Nice shout out to my brothers Charlie and John Bares and the team at Carnegie Robotics. https://lnkd.in/gUsJGA2X
Greenhouse gas monitoring on crop fields anyone? Thanks to funding from US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS), we were able to kick-start a new tech development project we've dubbed FluxBot™. We are grateful to have been selected for a Phase I SBIR award from USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to commercialize this tech over the coming growing season. This system will capture gas samples over a 24-hour period and will eventually be moved around a field by Rowbot Systems between-row robots (V1 proof-of-concept shown below, foreground, with an old-style manual chamber in the background of left image). Our goal is to increase greatly the spatial and temporal sampling of GHGs compared to what is possible today. #ghg #climatesmart #climatechange #carbonfarming
Excited to deliver a full-size model of our latest machine (built by Elliot Bares) to Landus where it will be on display in their Innovation Connector space.
