Germany DFKI spinoff autonomous robots for complex agroforestry and bio-intensive farming with 3D plant mapping; €6.5M EIC Accelerator Oct 2024 (grant + equity) for A-FORWARD project competing with Naïo for regenerative agriculture automation.
Nature Robots is a Germany-based agricultural robotics company — funded with €6.5 million through the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator program in October 2024 (€2.5 million grant plus €4 million equity investment) — developing fully autonomous farm robots for complex farming environments including regenerative agroforestry, bio-intensive agriculture, and mixed polyculture systems that conventional agricultural automation cannot navigate. A spinoff from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI — Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz), Nature Robots combines DFKI's AI and robotics research with commercial agricultural needs through the A-FORWARD project (Autonomous Full Farming for Optimised Regenerative and Wholesome Agriculture with Robotics and Deep-Learning), developing robots that navigate uneven terrain, build detailed 3D plant maps over time, and autonomously select and execute farming tasks guided by deep learning agricultural decision models.
Corteva Agriscience (CTVA)-owned farm management platform for field operations, budgeting, and agronomic analytics; competing with Bayer FieldView and John Deere Operations Center for commercial farm data.
Granular is an agriculture farm management software platform that provides data-driven tools for farmers, agronomists, and agricultural enterprises to manage field operations, track crop performance, plan budgets, and analyze financial and agronomic outcomes — enabling modern farming operations to replace spreadsheets and paper-based records with integrated digital farm management. Originally acquired by DuPont Pioneer in 2017 and subsequently integrated into Corteva Agriscience (NYSE: CTVA, the agricultural chemicals and seeds company spun out of DowDuPont in 2019), Granular serves large commercial farming operations across the US.
