Blue River Technology is a pioneer in the use of computer vision and robotics for agriculture. Founded in 2011 by two Stanford University Alumni, Blue River Technology is bringing crop protection into the digital era with See & Spray machines that precisely observe and treat each plant in a field. By applying herbicides only to weeds these machines dramatically reduce the amount of chemicals used, enable farmers the freedom to choose any herbicide that meets their needs, and improve grower economics. Currently, farmers are limited to equipment that applies fertilizer and chemicals inefficiently across an entire field. In contrast, Blue River have developed tractor-towed robots that are able to sense each individual plant and precisely apply the right amount of inputs – all in real time, at tractor speeds.
