Key Takeaways
- INNOFarms.AI, an Agri DeepTech startup from the MENA region, introduced its GrowSmartRobotics platform at the 6th Global Vertical Farming Show (GVF) 2025 Dubai.
- The system integrates AI vision, IoT sensors, and robotic automation for plant scouting, maturity detection, and precision harvesting.
- Reported field results include 5× faster crop scanning, 70% lower scouting and labor costs, and 98% harvest precision.
- GrowSmartRobotics connects with the company’s INNOFarmsXOS operating system, enabling farms to reduce operating costs by 30–40% and improve yields by up to 25%.
- The launch aligns with a projected surge in the global agricultural robotics market, expected to grow from $14.7 billion in 2024 to $48 billion by 2030.
Launch of INNOFarms.AI's GrowSmartRobotics
At GVF 2025 Dubai, INNOFarms.AI unveiled its patented GrowSmartRobotics, positioning it as a purpose-built solution for controlled-environment agriculture, greenhouses, vertical farms, orchards, and open-field operations. Unlike conventional robots adapted from field farming, GrowSmartRobotics is designed as a modular, plug-and-play system for future food systems where precision and labor efficiency are critical.
“GrowSmartRobotics is designed to be the hands of the future farm, precise, tireless, and intelligent,” said Brajendra Yadav, Founder & CEO of INNOFarms.AI.
Features and Reported Results
GrowSmartRobotics integrates multiple technologies to improve farming efficiency:
- AI-powered vision and IoT sensors for plant health and maturity detection.
- Robotic automation for precision harvesting.
- Field results showing 5× faster crop scanning, 70% lower capital and operational costs for scouting, and 98% harvest precision.
When integrated with INNOFarmsXOS, the company’s farm management platform, GrowSmartRobotics supports automation of growth cycles, irrigation, and nutrient delivery. This combination aims to lower farm operating costs by 30–40% and increase marketable yields by up to 25%.
INNOFarms.AI Company Vision
Beyond robotics, INNOFarms.AI aims to build what it describes as the “intelligent operating backbone” for food systems. Its platform integrates robotics, AI-driven market forecasting, and a digital farm-to-business marketplace — a model the company compares to being the “AWS for Future Food Systems.”
“Automation will be the foundation of resilient food systems,” added Yadav. “We see this as the start of a new era, one where farms can think and act for themselves.”
