Problem
Plant breeding programs are limited by the capacity to efficiently and accurately characterize plants at scale. Traditional methods of crop scouting and data collection are often manual, time-consuming, and prone to human error, hindering the development of improved crop varieties.
Solution
Gbot develops a high-throughput phenotyping platform that combines autonomous ground vehicles and artificial intelligence to automate data collection and analysis for crop characterization. The Gbot seed platform utilizes robotic vehicles to navigate experimental plots and collect image data, which is then processed using AI algorithms to extract valuable information about the crop. This technology enables breeders and investigators to acquire accurate, large-scale crop information, optimizing the process of plant breeding and accelerating the development of new varieties. The Phenotyping Digital Assistant (PDA) enhances data collection tasks from experimental plots with a trial manager website and mobile app for field data surveys, digitizing traditional methods.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes plant breeders, agricultural researchers, and seed companies involved in crop development and improvement programs.
