Greenfield Robotics

Greenfield Robotics, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Cheney, Kansas, is transforming agriculture through autonomous, AI-driven farming robots. With a mission rooted in sustainability and regenerative practices, the company offers a scalable alternative to toxic herbicides by deploying compact, battery-powered robots equipped with machine vision and precision blades. These robots efficiently remove weeds without disturbing the soil or damaging crops, and they can operate both day and night—even in conditions too soft for conventional machinery.

Operating under a robots-as-a-service model, Greenfield offers farmers access to cutting-edge technology while avoiding large capital investments. Its innovations contribute to healthier soils, reduced chemical usage, and more resilient and sustainable farming systems. Supported by over $50 million in venture capital from backers such as Chipotle and Cultivate Next, the company is expanding its robotic capabilities, with pilots already underway for nutrient sensing, cover crop deployment, and micro-spraying. With leadership driven by third-generation farmer and tech entrepreneur Clint Brauer, Greenfield Robotics is making strides toward a future where agriculture is not only efficient but truly ecological.
