Orchard Robotics Raises $22M For AI Farming Innovation

Orchard Robotics has raised $22 million to revolutionize how farmers monitor and manage their crops using artificial intelligence. The startup, founded by Charlie Wu, applies computer vision and AI to orchards and vineyards, helping growers gain accurate insights into their harvest. The main goal is simple: give farmers a clear, data-driven view of their crops so they can make smarter decisions about production, chemical use, and harvest planning. With AI farming technology becoming a critical tool in 2025, Orchard Robotics is stepping in to solve a problem farmers have faced for decades—uncertainty in the field.

This makes estimates about yield, fruit health, and chemical needs highly inaccurate. Orchard Robotics addresses this gap by using AI-powered cameras that scan trees and vines at scale, creating pr…
