Vision Robotics Corporation
US developer of autonomous agricultural robots for lettuce thinning and harvesting; uses neural net AI for in-field crop identification.
Vision Robotics Corporation (VRC), founded in 1999 and headquartered in San Diego, California, specializes in autonomous robotic systems for agricultural applications. Originally focused on vision-based mapping for autonomous robots, the company pivoted to agriculture in 2004, developing crop estimation systems for tree fruit. In 2011, VRC developed its autonomous lettuce thinning robot at the request of commercial lettuce growers, applying neural network AI to distinguish crops from weeds in real field conditions.
The company has since expanded into precision spot-spraying weeders and patented inline weeder cultivators. VRC operates through subsidiaries including Vision Robotics Lettuce Production LLC and Vision Robotics Vineyard Products LLC, and has received USDA grants and private venture funding.
