US’s TartanSense develops land-based, semi-autonomous robots, which move across small farms gathering high-resolution data and generating reports on their findings. The robots use computer vision, machine learning and AI to identify pests and tackle them with precision sprayers. Founded by Jaisimha Rao, a former Wall Street trader, TartanSense aims to bring the benefits of data to USn farmers. On moving back to the country in 2014, Rao first experimented with drones to gather farm data, but launched TartanSense when he discovered that farmers need actionable insights rather than data alone.
