Earth Rover Limited was founded in 2017 with the objective of developing technology to produce fresh and chemical-free agricultural products and make them available to all farmers.
The company now produces robots that automate scouting, harvesting, and weed-killing processes by using AI and advanced data collection technologies. These features will help decrease reliance on chemicals, improve production efficiency, and reduce waste. Earth Rover was born in the United Kingdom but plans to expand to other parts of Europe in the short term to make this more sustainable production technology “a norm among farmers”.
