The future of off-road autonomy is being shaped—together. This week at NVIDIA GTC, our collaboration took center stage as the NVIDIA team introduced Bluewhite work in off-road autonomy. We’re proud to work alongside industry leaders to bring safe autonomous solutions to real life. A special thank you to Dr. Riccardo Mariani for presenting our joint work on AV safety, and to Rammy Bahalul and Suhas Sheshadri from the NVIDIA Robotics and IGX teams for their partnership and shared vision. Stay tuned—this is only the beginning. #GTC25 #AI #AutonomousFarming #Robotics #Safety #Bluewhite #NVIDIA

Apple orchards are largely untouched by #automation. But that could be changing. Recent breakthroughs in #robotics and #artificialintelligence could enable robots to do much of the work that orchards require, potentially transforming how apples get to a fruit bowl near you. A number of universities and #startups are developing specialized robots for each stage of apple production, from pollinating the trees to fertilizing them, pruning them and harvesting the fruit. The push for automation comes as orchards face rising labor costs, and as they’re evolving in a way that would mesh well with robot apple pickers. Modern growing techniques train trees into narrow, rectangular shapes of limited height—rather than the natural big, bushy shape with a rounded canopy—making it easier to reach the fruit. ?? Here’s how robots are potentially revolutionizing the orchard, step by step: https://lnkd.in/egkiyUbB

We always feel a great sense of pride when our portfolio companies are elevated as examples for the evolving food ecosystem. Great job advanced.farm team!

At SAIL, we are passionate about fostering meaningful partnerships that unlock transformative solutions for the agri-food industry. Our latest case study highlights how we collaborated with CNH – the world’s second largest agricultural machinery manufacturer – to accelerate the development of the world’s first automated oil palm harvester, leveraging Enterprise Singapore’s Sustainability Open Innovation Challenge (SOIC). Through the SOIC platform, CNH engaged with innovators worldwide and identified collaborators with expertise in technologies like advanced computer vision, robotics, and precision mechanisation to address pressing challenges in oil palm harvesting. This project exemplifies the power of open innovation in tackling complex challenges while promoting sustainability, efficiency, and worker safety. Check out the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/g-x2jzht SAIL is excited to support our Corporate Partners for the third consecutive year in seeking cutting-edge solutions to new challenges through the 6??
