Agriculture robotics is one of the most promising market segments that The Robot Report covers. Innovations could help growers maximize yields and optimize profits with less chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Automation is also making agriculture more attractive to the next generation of farmers. Agricultural robotics is a key part of the Field Robotics Forum at RoboBusiness 2024, which will be on Oct. 16 and 17 in Santa Clara, Calif.
The event brings together the brightest minds in robotics to share their experiences and insights. Field robotics also includes systems for construction, delivery, utilities, science, and defense applications.

At RoboBusiness, Jason Schoettler of Calibrate Ventures and Tjarko Leifer of FarmWise Robotics will discuss the state of robotics in farming. They will also provide projections for where the industry will go next, which sub-sectors are getting funded and why, and how advances in embodied intelligence are making ag-tech robots more cost-effective.
In addition, Schottler and Keifer will describe how the agriculture industry compares with other field robotics deployments in terms of adoption, growth, and innovation.
This is a rare chance to hear from a leading robotics investor alongside a CEO from a highly successful field robotics company. They will both answer audience questions about the opportunities, challenges, and pitfalls of deploying agbotics at scale.
Hear from Farmwise and more at RoboBusiness
RoboBusiness will feature more than 60 speakers, over 100 exhibitors and demonstrations on the expo floor, 10+ hours of dedicated networking time, the Pitchfire Robotics Startup Competition, and more.
Thousands of robotics practitioners from around the world will convene at the event. The “What’s Next for Agricultural Robtics” session will take place at 11:45 a.m. PT on the first day of the show.
In addition to enabling tech and robotics innovation, RoboBusiness 2024 focuses on investments and business topics related to running a robotics company. Keynote talks at the event include:
- Rodney Brooks, co-founder and chief technology officer at Robust AI
- Sergey Levine, co-founder of Physical Intelligence and an associate professor at UC Berkeley
- Claire Delaunay, the CTO at farm-ng
- Torrey Smith, the co-founder and CEO of Endiatx
RoboBusiness is co-located with DeviceTalks West and is produced by WTWH Media, which also publishes The Robot Report, Automated Warehouse, and Collaborative Robotics Trends, as well as produces the Robotics Summit & Expo.
