Farming is one of the oldest human innovations, from the first-hand plow to the development of genetically modified crops. But today, the agriculture industry is dealing with several disparate challenges, including global labor shortages, climate change, rising populations and the accompanying need for more sustainable and efficient food production. The creation of humanoid robots is one way in which these issues are being tackled, although there are still a few challenges.
Unlike traditional tractors or machines, humanoid robots leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to perform a wide range of tasks, sometimes even more efficiently than humans. From delicately harvesting fruits to detecting diseased plants in dense crops, they bring precision to farming operations. Whether walking or wheeling through greenhouses, orchards, or vertical farms, humanoid robots are set to transform the way we grow, harvest, and manage food. These developments are definitely ones to watch: the International Federation of Robotics has tagged humanoid robots as the second-biggest trend in 2025, behind only physical, analytic, and generative AI.

So, let’s get our boots (and maybe bionic limbs) dirty, and look at how humanoid robots are making waves in the agriculture sector.
Technological Advancements in Humanoid Agricultural Robotics
The increasing use of humanoid robotics in the agriculture industry is driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and robotics engineering. These technologies help robots to perform complex tasks that have usually been done by humans. This can help with labor shortages and can improve efficiency, leading to more sustainable farming.
Over the past decade, the convergence of robotics and agriculture has led to a transformation in how core farming activities are approached. Innovations in neuromorphic computing, edge AI, and adaptive control systems have equipped humanoid robots with decision-making capabilities that mirror human intuition in real time. These developments are helping to shift the traditional agricultural paradigm from manual, reactive farming to predictive, data-driven agriculture that can respond swiftly to environmental and crop-specific conditions.
One example of technological advancements in humanoid robots is in AI-powered vision systems. These systems help robots to identify crops, determine whether fruit is ripe, and figure out which plants are crops and which are weeds. For example, Carbon Robotics’ LaserWeeder uses high-resolution cameras and AI to detect and get rid of weeds. This reduces the need for herbicides and manual labor. Nexus robots are another type of autonomous weeding robot using computer vision, AI, and self-guidance, as are Dino robots. However, the LaserWeeder, Dino, and Nexus robots still use wheels; they’re autonomous, AI-enabled agricultural robots, but not quite humanoid, yet. The LaserWeeder is said to be “the first autonomous LaserWeeder in the world”.
Another company, Taranis, has developed tools using computer vision to monitor crop health at the leaf level. This way, diseases and pests can be detected early. These technologies can be used with robots (including humanoid ones) later. Many types of agricultural robot technologies have developed significantly over the past few years. This graph from Allied Market Research shows the growth in the sectors of driverless tractors, milking robots, and automated harvest robots in particular, from 2017 to 2023.
The trend is not only one of increased adoption, but also of diversification. As farmers deal with more variables—from climate volatility to shifting consumer demands—robots with advanced analytics capabilities are becoming indispensable. Robots can now perform micro-analysis on a leaf’s texture, coloration, and chemical signatures, helping forecast disease outbreaks before symptoms are visually evident. When integrated with drones and ground-based monitoring systems, these tools form an intelligent ecosystem that feeds critical data into farm management software, enabling strategic responses.

One type of more “humanoid” type robots are those operating in the harvest robots’ space, particularly with soft robotics. These are robots using specialized grips and robotic arms that can carry out delicate tasks like fruit picking and pruning. Octinion is one company that has created robots that can harvest strawberries without causing damage, using soft-touch technology to mimic human handling. The Octinion robot has a soft hand-like gripper that can reach up and pick strawberries without damaging the fruit.
Fieldwork Robotics is also developing robots designed to pick berries efficiently, like Organifarms BERRY robot. Another robot is the Virgo robot from RootAI, which picks tomatoes. While these robots are still much slower than a human, they use ripeness detection technology to choose the right fruit and can potentially reduce the labor-intensive nature of berry harvesting in the future as the technology develops.
Recent prototypes are now capable of working continuously for 18–20 hours per day, unaffected by fatigue, heat, or repetitive strain. With enhancements in battery storage and solar-powered charging, future robots may operate autonomously for days at a time. These capabilities could significantly alter the seasonal labor dynamics in countries heavily reliant on migrant workers. Additionally, as robots become faster and more agile through developments in tendon-like cable actuators and proprioceptive feedback systems, their productivity is expected to rise substantially.
Humanoid robots are already being created in China, for example, through the company Agibot. These robots have been designed to be multi-purpose, and are being used for service and manufacturing tasks, such as grabbing, placing, plugging and transporting. More heavy-duty robots are in development for material handling and heavier lifting. Many of these types of robots will become more widespread in the manufacturing industry, as well as other industries like agriculture. A number of companies have developed humanoid robots in 2025, including Boston Dynamics, Tesla, and Agility, although many of these robots are not yet being used in industry sectors.

Figure 3. Source: Voroni. Humanoid Robots 2025.
Robots equipped with GPS, LiDAR, and sensor technologies are another type of technological development. These robots can navigate a wide range of terrains autonomously and detect their environment using several different tools. Blue River Technology’s See & Spray system, for example, uses computer vision and machine learning to identify and target weeds. This means that herbicides can be applied more accurately, and reduce chemical usage by up to 77%.
In addition, researchers have developed the CropNav framework, which is intended to help robots switch between different sensing modalities. This increases the robots’ ability to navigate in environments where GPS signals can be unreliable. This is particularly useful in dense crop fields or hilly areas where satellite signals are weak or distorted. CropNav enables robots to alternate between GPS, visual markers, and even magnetic field sensing to maintain navigation accuracy.
Humanoid robots are being integrated more and more into precision farming practices. They are used with data-driven systems to improve and optimize agricultural operations. With the ability to interface with digital farm management platforms, humanoid robots are not just mechanical laborers—they become field-based data nodes. By uploading soil readings, crop imagery, and atmospheric data in real-time, they contribute to a constantly updated model of the farm. This allows for dynamic planning, predictive pest management, and just-in-time harvesting strategies that reduce waste and enhance output.
OneSoil, for example, makes technology using satellite imagery and AI to provide farmers with detailed maps of their fields. These tools help farmers with decision-making about planting and resource allocation. As humanoid robots develop, they can integrate these tools more. This allows robots to scout soil and plant measurements, assess crop cover, growth rates, flooding, the emergence of weeds, damage from pests, or nutrient imbalances. This cross-platform integration also means that humanoid robots could eventually act as autonomous agronomists, providing suggestions or alerts directly to a farmer’s mobile device. With the addition of natural language processing, these robots could explain the health status of a field verbally or through dashboards, making the data more accessible to farmers with varying technical expertise.
Vertical farming environments also benefit from the use of humanoid robots. This is because of their controlled approach and ability to function in small spaces. Companies like Plenty, based in California, are using a wide range of robots to create an automated, controlled vertical farm. They claim it can produce “up to 350 times the yield compared to a field of the same size”.
Stack Tech Farm, in collaboration with Gestalt Robotics, is also developing mobile robots for vertical farming that autonomously manage plant trays. This improves productivity and reduces the need for human labor.
Rather than replacing human workers, humanoid robots are designed to collaborate with them, taking on repetitive or physically demanding tasks. This collaboration allows human labor to focus on more complex decision-making roles, improving overall productivity and addressing labor shortages in the agricultural sector. This hybrid model—often referred to as “cobot farming”—prioritizes cooperation over competition. It reflects a future where technology augments human expertise rather than rendering it obsolete. Training programs are emerging to teach farm workers how to manage and maintain robotic systems, creating new types of jobs in the agri-tech sector. In doing so, robotics not only helps preserve food security but also revitalizes rural economies through high-tech employment opportunities.
Market Dynamics
While the technological promise of humanoid robots in agriculture is advancing rapidly, their widespread use is affected by a wide range of other factors. Market forces, policy environments, and social readiness also significantly affect the rate of adoption for these technologies.
Some of the issues include high capital costs, uncertain returns, and regulatory ambiguity. Understanding these dynamics is critically important for investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers who would like to take advantage of these technologies.
The biggest barrier to widespread adoption of humanoid agricultural robots is economic feasibility. For many farms, especially small to mid-sized operations, the high upfront costs and long payback periods make humanoid robots difficult to invest in.
The upfront costs of advanced robotic systems for harvesting or weeding can range from $100,000 to $500,000 per unit. This does not include integration costs, ongoing maintenance, or required software subscriptions. This is quite a hefty sum for a small farm. Payback periods also often exceed 5–7 years, which conflicts with the tight margins and shorter ROI expectations of most producers.
One of the issues with ROI is that most robots currently offer cost savings only under ideal conditions (e.g., uniform crops, flat terrain). In addition, labor savings don’t always translate into profitability if productivity gains are marginal or offset by tech failures. ROI is also hard to measure in diversified farms where robots can’t perform multiple crop tasks efficiently.
Robotic ROI tends to be clearest in high-labor-cost regions and for large monoculture operations. According to a 2023 McKinsey report, “30 percent of farmers cited an unclear ROI as a top barrier to adoption”, and a 2024 McKinsey report also found that unclear ROI remained the biggest barrier to adoption, with high implementation costs and time-consuming education curves following closely behind.
In addition to economic considerations, government policies also play a pivotal role in shaping the adoption landscape for humanoid agricultural robots. In the European Union, for instance, the upcoming Machinery Regulation EU 2023/1230, set to take effect in 2027, introduces stringent safety requirements for autonomous agricultural machinery. These regulations mandate certification by external bodies, potentially increasing development costs and posing challenges for companies aiming to innovate in this space. Moreover, the classification of fields as public roads remains ambiguous, complicating insurance and operational protocols for autonomous machines.

Figure 4. Source: McKinsey. Unclear ROI and high implementation and maintenance costs are the two main challenges for agtech adoption across regions.
Getting financing for such technology is also still relatively limited outside of large-scale agribusinesses or VC-backed operations. Fields or greenhouses also need to be adapted to suit robots (e.g., replanting layouts, updating irrigation systems), which adds significant additional expense. Alongside humanoid robot systems, farmers often need to invest in digital infrastructure like AI farm management systems, GPS mapping, or wireless connectivity. A lack of interoperability between robots and existing machinery also raises costs and increases system complexity.
In addition, in many regions, seasonal labor remains significantly cheaper than humanoid robots and other automation. For example, H-2A visa workers in agriculture are paid roughly $16–18/hour depending on the state, with costs partially offset by federal programs or other government subsidies. This makes labor more flexible and less capital-intensive than robotics, although this could change as technology becomes cheaper.
Without policy incentives or tax breaks, most farms default to the labor models they know and can scale cheaply. This is why current adoption is concentrated among large agribusinesses and venture-backed vertical farms, which can absorb both the capital expenditure and the longer ROI horizon. To facilitate broader adoption, some companies are exploring modular upgrades that enhance existing equipment with AI-powered perception or autonomous navigation capabilities. These retrofit solutions offer a more cost-effective path to automation, allowing farmers to incrementally integrate advanced technologies without the need for complete system overhauls. Additionally, initiatives aimed at simplifying user interfaces and providing remote diagnostics are being developed to address the steep learning curves associated with new technologies, particularly for smaller farms lacking dedicated technology staff.
Other Adoption Challenges
Alongside market challenges and concerns about financial viability, there are also practical challenges, regulatory challenges, and social reluctance among farmers.
First, most robots are designed for specific tasks or crops, making them economically inefficient for farms growing diverse or seasonal crops. Specialty crop farmers have higher per-unit costs because of limited robot functionality.
In addition, machines that aren’t multi-functional need multiple units or manual intervention, which makes them less efficient. In some cases, farmers who have adopted precision agriculture technology have found improved operational efficiency, but a lack of increase in revenue per acre, especially in variable weather or soil conditions. In addition, many farms are already paying for precision platforms, SaaS tools, analytics software, and other technologies. Robotics can potentially be another layer of cost without a guaranteed return.
Furthermore, the pace of regulatory development has not kept up with the rapid advancement of agricultural robotics. Inconsistent or outdated frameworks often create ambiguity around deployment, liability, and safety standards. This increases hesitancy among farmers to adopt technology that is not yet well-regulated. Recent analyses highlight that, within the agrifood sector, there are no harmonized standards addressing safe human–robot collaboration or autonomous operations, leaving developers to navigate a patchwork of guidelines originally designed for stationary industrial robots.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have limited oversight mechanisms specific to autonomous or semi-autonomous robots. In Europe, however, the European Commission has proposed a legal framework for artificial intelligence, including agricultural applications, with emphasis on risk categorization and transparency requirements.
While subsidies exist for equipment purchases in some countries, few programs specifically incentivize robotics adoption. For example, the US Farm Bill includes funding for precision agriculture technology, but not for humanoid robotics explicitly.
The lack of standardized communication protocols between robotic systems and existing farm machinery adds another layer of complexity and cost. Without regulatory pressure or industry consensus, many developers build proprietary systems, which limit scalability and farmer adoption.
Tractor Junction notes a few issues with adopting AI in agriculture, many of which apply to humanoid robots as well. This includes high costs, lack of experience, technological issues, connectivity issues, privacy and security, and slow processes.

Figure 5. Source. Tractor Junction. What Are the Challenges of AI in Agriculture
Finally, the successful deployment of humanoid robots on farms depends not just on technological and economic viability, but also on farmer and public acceptance. Many farmers have already invested in precision agriculture technologies—like GPS-guided tractors, drones, and sensors—without seeing the promised boost in profits or yields. This prior experience creates economic reluctance to adopt even more advanced (and expensive) systems like humanoid robots. In addition, earlier precision agriculture adopters on small farms may not have seen value due to a lack of scale; the same skepticism now applies to robotics.
However, public acceptance seems to be increasing: research from the AgTech Trends 2023 survey has found that “more than half of respondents plan to increase investment in on-farm robotics or autonomous systems in the next 24 months in the field (54.8%), for harvesting (60.5%) and for packing (51.3%).”
Some broader concerns, however, such as job displacement and data privacy will need to be considered as robotic systems are rolled out. These issues are similar for most AI technologies and robotic technologies, regardless of industry. However, lessons from mechanization history show that while automation can displace certain roles, it often creates new opportunities in robot maintenance, data analysis, and system integration—provided that adequate reskilling programs accompany the rollout.
In regions where agriculture employs large numbers of low-wage workers, such as in parts of Latin America and Southeast Asia, the fear of job loss can generate resistance to automation, both from workers and policymakers. In contrast, Japan has actively promoted robotic farming technologies due to a shrinking rural labor force and aging population. National policies in Japan now subsidize up to 75% of deployment costs for robotic harvesters in mountainous tea plantations—models that could inform targeted support measures elsewhere.
Overall, acceptance is highest in countries facing acute labor shortages or with strong national support for tech-driven agriculture, such as the Netherlands, South Korea, and Israel. Joint industry government roadmaps in the Netherlands have set adoption targets of 30% robotic coverage on large-scale arable farms by 2030, with structured farmer feedback loops to guide technology refinement in real time.
Venture Capital Investment Trends in AI and Agricultural Robotics
Venture capital investment in artificial intelligence and agricultural robotics has also accelerated significantly over the past two years. This is partially because of global food security concerns, rising labor costs, and rapid AI advancements. Investors are increasingly recognizing the long-term potential of automation in agriculture, including the role humanoid robots could play.
In 2024, global VC funding for AI startups reached $131.5 billion, a 52% increase from the previous year, according to fDi Intelligence. This surge is a result of both the post-ChatGPT boom and growing confidence in AI, such as robotics for healthcare, manufacturing, and agriculture. Increasingly, investors are also backing startups applying AI and robotics to solve productivity bottlenecks in the food supply chain, particularly those exacerbated by labor shortages and climate change.
The agrifoodtech space, which includes technologies like vertical farms and autonomous harvesters, has also shown strong momentum. According to AgFunderNews, US agrifoodtech startups raised $6.6 billion in 2024, up 14% from the prior year. In particular, the most successful startups are focusing on weeding, spraying, thinning, and harvest-assist robotics.
The report notes that “weeding robots are showing the most progress at this point, with laser-weeder manufacturer Carbon Robotics in the lead with over 100 robots delivered to customers and expected sales growth for 2025. Spraying startups, including GUSS and Ecorobotix, are seeing good traction with growers. Harvest assist, with Burro, continues to develop into a nice segment. Those four companies are all delivering machines into the market.” GlobeNewswire notes that the global agriculture robot market is “projected to surge from USD 12.2 billion in 2023 to USD 139.4 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 24.78%”, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 6. Source. GlobeNewswire. Agriculture Robots Market.
Note that the biggest growth has been around hardware, which includes the development of new humanoid robot technologies.
Importantly, this hardware-led growth is now intersecting with software platforms for fleet management, predictive maintenance, and compliance tracking—further broadening the addressable market to include SaaS revenues alongside robot sales.
Several robotics companies operating at the intersection of AI and agriculture have closed major rounds recently, signaling sustained investor interest. Agility Robotics, known for its bipedal robot Digit, raised $150 million in 2022 and continues to explore use cases beyond logistics, including agricultural labor support. While the company is not focused exclusively on farming, its systems could be adapted for repetitive field tasks in future deployments.
Naïo Technologies, a French ag-robotics firm, has deployed over 300 autonomous robots globally for weeding and mechanical cultivation. In 2023, Naïo raised €32 million to expand internationally and improve its AI navigation for farm environments.
With that capital, Naïo has launched a pilot in the U.S. Midwest, retrofitting traditional row crop tractors with its WeedPro system, illustrating a trend toward combining legacy machinery with cutting-edge perception and actuation modules.
Together, these investments signal a growing convergence of AI, hardware, and agronomy.
Case Studies
Examining real-world deployments helps illuminate how AI and robotics are being implemented in agriculture—not just as experimental prototypes, but as viable commercial solutions.
Case Study 1: Carbon Robotics
Carbon Robotics, founded in Seattle in 2018, developed the LaserWeeder—an autonomous machine that uses computer vision to identify and eliminate weeds using high-powered lasers. The system integrates deep learning models to differentiate between crops and weeds with high accuracy. These technologies help to prevent weeds without the use of chemical herbicides, hand labor, or soil disruption. In the image below you can see the structure of the robot.

Figure 7. Source: Carbon Robotics. Under the Hood of Laser Weeder G2.
Early adopters have reported up to 80% reductions in weed management costs, along with significantly lower herbicide use—by as much as 77%, according to the company. A single LaserWeeder unit can weed up to 15–20 acres per day, offering scalability for mid- to large-sized farms. This directly addresses two critical pain points in modern farming: chemical overuse and labor shortages.
In 2024, Carbon Robotics secured $70 million in Series D funding to scale its LaserWeeder platform. This brought funding for the company to a total of $157 million. Paul Mikesell, CEO and founder of Carbon Robotics, noted that “we’re leading a transformative shift, and this investment accelerates our ability to pioneer AI and robotics that will reshape farming for generations to come.”
Case Study 2: Bonsai Robotics
Another example is Bonsai Robotics, which specializes in vision-based autonomy for orchard and vineyard environments. Its autonomy stack allows existing farm machinery to navigate uneven, GPS-challenged terrain using LiDAR and computer vision rather than relying solely on satellite data. This enables real-time perception, localization, and motion planning without costly hardware replacements. In the image below you can see an example of Bonsai Robotics’ robot vision.

Figure 8. Source: Bonsai Robotics. Vision-based understanding of every aspect of your orchard, from obstacles to imperfect planting.
The company’s technology boosts efficiency in harvesting and planting, particularly in high-value specialty crops. By retrofitting existing equipment, Bonsai Robotics lowers the barrier to automation for smaller growers, making precision agriculture more accessible. Its systems also collect valuable field-level data that can be integrated into broader farm management software.
Bonsai Robotics, a California-based startup, also raised $15 million in a Series A funding round to develop its orchard and vineyard machinery. The company focuses on vision-based navigation and crop handling, allowing retrofitting of existing equipment rather than full robot replacement.
These case studies show how the new paradigm in farming is taking shape.
Outlook
The use of agricultural robotics is still only just beginning. As both the technology and market continue to mature, adoption will increase, and challenges will smooth out.The next wave of innovation in agricultural robotics is expected to build on recent progress in edge AI, reinforcement learning, and biomimetic design. First, edge computing will enable robots to process data locally with lower latency, improving real-time responsiveness in dynamic field environments. Local inference on edge devices will allow robots to detect pests, nutrient deficiencies, or rogue weeds in under 100 ms—speeds impossible with cloud reliance—fostering safer and more autonomous fieldwork.
Advances in multimodal learning (combining visual, tactile, and spatial data) will also allow machines to better adapt to complex tasks like selective harvesting or pruning irregularly shaped fruit.
Hardware development is trending toward lighter, more energy-efficient components, which will lower operating costs and enable broader deployment across farm sizes. For example, companies like Agility Robotics are exploring human-like bipedal mobility to navigate irregular terrain. This makes it easier to develop humanoid systems capable of operating in crop rows or hilly orchards where wheeled robots struggle. Innovations in carbon fiber composites and lithium sulfur batteries are cutting system weight by 40% while extending operational time by 30%, enabling robots to cover over 20 acres on a single charge.
While most current deployments are concentrated in North America, Europe, and parts of East Asia, emerging markets present major growth opportunities. According to Research Nester, North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific are likely to be the biggest growth regions. However, in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, simplified humanoid prototypes costing under $50,000 are already being trialed for seed drilling and weeding—demonstrating that cost tailored solutions can accelerate technology diffusion in low income markets.

Figure 9. Source: Research Nester. Global Agriculture Robotics Market Share (in%) Segmented by Region, 2031.
In addition, expansion beyond row crops into high-value produce (berries, grapes, tomatoes) and perennial systems (like orchards and vineyards) will diversify use cases. Indoor farming and vertical agriculture are also likely to benefit from humanoid robots designed for confined or repetitive tasks, especially in regions with extreme climates or limited arable land. Vertical farms in urban centers are piloting humanoid pickers that navigate tight racks and perform nutrient dosing—enabling 24/7 harvests and doubling per unit land productivity.
The investment landscape is expected to remain strong, with many startups continuing to attract capital across early and growth stages. Analysts at PitchBook note that “there is a consensus that agtech is experiencing double-digit growth and will add over $12 billion in value by 2026, fueled by climate-smart farming, automation, and the increasing need for sustainable food production.” This optimism is mirrored by a 19% jump in agtech M&A deal volume in Q1 2025, signaling that consolidation and strategic partnerships will accelerate commercialization.
New startup formation is also likely to occur in niche areas like pollination-as-a-service, AI-guided irrigation, and autonomous nursery management, as well as greater corporate VC involvement from traditional ag players (e.g., John Deere, Bayer Crop Science) and tech giants (e.g., Alphabet’s X Moonshot Factory). In addition, there is likely to be a rise in cross-sector convergence, with technologies developed for warehouses or logistics being adapted to agricultural environments, such as how Boston Dynamics’ Spot is being tested to “inspect apples in the orchard to determine the ripeness and quality, but most importantly detect any diseases and pests that might be prevalent.”
Lastly
The integration of humanoid robotics and AI into agriculture represents not just a technological shift, but a broader transformation of how food is produced, managed, and distributed. Faced with persistent labor shortages, rising production costs including tariffs, and increasing pressure for environmental sustainability, the agricultural sector is turning to advanced robotics as a practical and scalable solution. Companies like Carbon Robotics and Bonsai Robotics highlight this trend, using AI-powered autonomy and vision systems to improve efficiency and reduce reliance on chemicals and manual labor.
Looking ahead, the convergence of robotics, genomics, and data analytics could usher in an era of “living machines”—robots that not only harvest but also monitor and influence plant phenotypes in real time, enabling near-zero waste supply chains.
While adoption still faces hurdles ranging from economic feasibility and regulatory clarity to social acceptance, the trajectory is clear. As robotic models grow more capable, hardware becomes more agile, and venture capital continues to fuel innovation, humanoid agricultural robots will transition from pilot projects to essential tools in modern farming. The path forward will be incremental, but the potential impact is transformative: a smarter, more resilient, and more productive global food system.
