EarthSense co-founder & CTO Girish Chowdhary is a Hosted Speaker at the 2024 Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture & Agrotourism Show. This is the 100th year for MAHA - Southeast Asia's premier agricultural exhibition! Girish is speaking tomorrow (September 11) about the role of robotics and AI in making agriculture sustainable, profitable, and climate resilient for major Asian crops - including Oil Palm! Huge thanks to The Yield Lab Asia Pacific team for making us a part of this amazing conference! #Malaysia #MAHA2024 #MAHA100 #agtech #AI

Fresh from the fields: our autonomy AI makes it possible for the robot to deal with some really challenging, changing terrain and recover gracefully and get back on the path! #autonomy #ai #agtech #robotics #sustainableag

It's been a few months in the making - we're excited to announce our partnership with Shell and VISION Bioenergy Oilseeds through Shell's GameChanger program - Shell GameChanger provides financial and strategic support to innovative companies with unique technologies that create the future of global sustainable energy supply. With support from Shell GameChanger and in collaboration with Shell’s subsidiary Joint Venture VISION Bioenergy Oilseeds (VISION) LLC, EarthSense will test the performance of camelina planted during Summer and Fall 2024 by EarthSense robots in corn fields. The Shell GameChanger funding will enable EarthSense to validate the performance of robotically inter-seeded camelina as a bioenergy cover crop in corn-soybean rotation in the Midwest. Enabling a corn-camelina-soybean relay cropping system will potentially improve crop rotation efficiencies, and enable American row-crop farmers to protect and improve farm soils while simultaneously earning additional income from producing camelina as a feedstock for sustainable biofuels. #sustainableenergy #netzero #sustainableaviationfuels #biofuels #agriculture #covercrops #sustainableaviation

Grow-NY is a premier ag-tech competition and incubation program. It's created by New York State and run by an amazing team at Cornell University. EarthSense is delighted to be selected as a finalist in the impressive 2024 Cohort from among hundreds of applicants from around the world! We can't wait to bring our innovative robotics and AI products to benefit commodity and specialty crop farmers in New York! #agtech #robotics #AI #sustainable #regenerative

EarthSense robots are out in the fields, planting cover crops and helping farmers regenerate their soils! Cover crops have numerous well known benefits, including soil improvement, yield improvement, fertilizer cost reduction, and weed suppression. But fewer than 3% of land in the US is under cover crops, due to labor shortage and costs and slow realization of benefits due to the poor performance of cover crops planted after the main crop is harvested. Planting cover crops during the summer growing season enables us to use up to 50% less seed, while achieving 3-5x better spring growth and benefits! With support from the USDA Climate Smart Commodities program as part of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's iCOVER project, we're excited to bring these benefits to as many farmers as possible, as fast as possible!

Continuing the patenting streak! I'm super proud of the EarthSense, Inc. team for innovating for agricultural sustainability - throughout the value chain. Our technologies not only help farmers overcome labor shortages and improve profitability, they also help crop breeders create more productive, profitable, and climate resilient crops! As before, thanks to the Photon Legal team for helping us win a strong patent, and get it fast! #patent #USPTO #agtech #sustainability #phenotyping #cropbreeding

We are delighted to announce that the USPTO has granted us yet another patent #US20230306735A1 "Agricultural analysis robotic systems and methods thereof". This patent empowers us to further protect our innovations that enable in-canopy data collection and analysis. Our inventions enable accurate, high-throughput detection and measurement of properties of specific organs of plants with in-canopy sensors. The patent covers cameras and sensors mounted on a robot, and despite the title, sensors mounted on other non-robotic, non-autonomous platforms too! :-) In-canopy sensors are the only way to for accurately measuring a variety of high-value traits, such as corn ear height. We are truly excited to continue our collaborations with the world's leading crop breeders to deploy these solutions at scale. We all need to speed up high-throughput crop breeding pipelines to create more productive, profitable, and climate resilient crops. #USPTO #patent #phenotyping #fieldphenotyping #cropbreeding #agtech #sustainability

It's great to see our robots featured in this Bloomberg story about the labor shortages affecting the production world's largest food oil, and how autonomous robots are set to change that! EarthSense's patented AI-powered autonomy and plant intelligence capabilities are key to unlocking sustainable, high-productivity palm plantations around the world. #sustainablepalm #autonomy #ai #agtech #robotics

We’re delighted to announce that the USPTO has awarded yet another patent - # US11980116B1 - to EarthSense for the use of AI-ML based smart application of treatments in plantations, orchards, vineyards, and other permanent cropping systems. Our robots can work tirelessly and precisely around the clock in challenging environments. With our Edge-optimized AI, they will be deployed anywhere in the world without expensive communication infrastructure. And the AI enabled precise and intelligent application of fertilizers and chemicals will drive yield improvements, reduction in environmental harm and significant financial savings! This patent builds on our other patented ground breaking innovations in robust autonomous navigation, multi-robot deployments, machine vision in challenging agricultural environments, and more. We’re getting international protection for these innovations around the world! https://lnkd.in/g2aQFgQk #uspto #patent #autonomy #agtech #AI #machinvision #machinlearning #robotics #regenerative #autonomous #innovation

The EarthSense team has been making tremendous leaps in creating AI-powered robotics solutions to some of the largest and most challenging farming problems in the world! Our autonomous fertilizing robots are helping palm plantations be more productive with less land, improve sustainability, reverse de-forestation and save money. Palm plantation managers can monitor the progress of our robots' activities from their remote operations centers using Microsoft FarmBeats technology. EarthSense robots are fully equipped with our patented and proprietary AI algorithms trained on Microsoft Azure using our unprecedented real-world field data. These unique algorithms enable our robots to navigate the challenging terrain intelligently and enable precision sustainable farming in complex environments. #AI #robotics #agtech #autonomy #FarmBeats #TVWhiteSpace #TVWS #Microsoft #Azure #sustainablepalm #patents
