Nature Robots develops AI-based modular autonomy software that enables agricultural machines and robots to navigate and operate autonomously across large fields, vegetable farming, viticulture, fruit growing, specialty crops, agri-photovoltaics, and agroforestry. The company positions its platform as a way for machinery manufacturers to deploy selected autonomy functions without building in-house stacks, and as a foundation for spot farming, decision support, and light agricultural machinery for soil conservation. Nature Robots says its technology can enable dramatic reductions in chemical inputs—up to 90% via approaches like laser weeding and spot farming—and cut CO2e emissions by up to 25% through AI-supported mission planning. Founded in January 2022 as a DFKI spin-off and based in the Agrotech Valley near Osnabrück, the company has received grants and equity funding including EXIST support and 2025 EIC awards. With the Seed proceeds, Nature Robots plans to grow its team, open a Munich office, and shorten integration timelines to scale deployments across customers’ fleets.
