A wider map for agricultural robotics
The biggest rounds are still modest, but 2026 funding is spreading across orchard harvesting, weed control, greenhouse automation and machine autonomy.
Year-to-date agricultural robotics funding spans Israel, China, Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Spain and Norway. Applications include orchard harvesting, weed control, greenhouse automation, nutrient application and machine autonomy.
Tevel raised $18 million in a Series C round in late March to expand commercial use of its fruit-harvesting system, which combines hovering drones with a ground-based carrier.
Fieldwork Robotics raised £3 million through investment and project grants for scale-up, production robots and commercial trials in U.K. berry harvesting.
AgriPass raised $7.5 million to expand robotic weed control in the U.S. and Europe. eternal.ag raised €8 million and launched its first commercial greenhouse-harvesting robot.
A few other 2026 raises that reinforce the spread
Percisphere raised RMB 100M, about $14M, in a Series A in China, building heavy-payload all-terrain robots for harsh outdoor agricultural terrain.
Upside Robotics raised $7.5M in a seed round in Canada, developing autonomous robots for precision fertilizer application in row crops.
Greenfield Robotics raised $3.7M through Regulation Crowdfunding in the US, focused on autonomous weed control and chemical-free field operations.
Nature Robots raised €4M in a seed round in Germany, building modular autonomy software for agricultural machinery rather than a full robot OEM stack.
Grodi raised €2.5M in Spain, building autonomous robotics and computer vision systems for greenhouse operations.
Kilter secured €6.5M in new financing and a strategic investment from Kubota in Norway, focused on autonomous precision weeding and spot-spraying for high-value crops.
