Company overview

Greenfield Robotics builds and operates lightweight, AI-powered robots that mechanically remove weeds in large-scale (broadacre) farms growing crops like sorghum, soybeans, and cotton. Rather than relying on herbicides, Greenfield’s fleet of robots cuts weeds between rows, day or night, with minimal crop disturbance. Their modular platform supports additional regenerative tasks such as planting cover crops, adding nutrients, and soil testing—all performed by a coordinated suite of bots that share a common chassis. The technology integrates proprietary machine vision, precision navigation, and real-time fleet coordination, enabling farms to reduce chemical use, protect soil health, and produce cleaner, nutrient-dense food at scale.

Greenfield operates under a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model they call Fleet-to-Farm BOTony. Farmers don’t purchase or maintain the bots; instead, Greenfield delivers a swarm of robots to the farm, performs the service, and charges on a per-acre basis. This eliminates the need for upfront capital investment in equipment and keeps the cost comparable to traditional herbicide applications. With robots maintained and upgraded by Greenfield, farmers gain access to cutting-edge automation without added operational complexity.

“We built Greenfield Robotics' business model to scale regenerative agriculture the way cloud computing scaled technology,” says CEO Nandan Kalle. “Farmers subscribe to results, not machines. That model lowers adoption barriers, drives profitability, and accelerates the transition to chemical-free farming at scale.”
