3HP platform that allows farmers, developers, and researchers to haul, tow, spray, apply composts and assist in other essential roles. The platform is the erector set of farm tools where the same machine can be configured over the row, wide, narrow, with intelligence and tools that lift or rotate. The intelligence platform has an open API allowing students, developers and even elementary school students to code and configure the machine to collect data, integrate with other tools, and perform repeated robotic tasks.
With the GPS guidance system, it can perform precision steering and weed the same plots it seeded earlier in the year with minimal or no operator intervention. Space: U35, U37, U39, U41, T38, T40, T42 │ Fresno, Calif. BlueSpray brings autonomous precision spraying capabilities to growers in orchards and vineyards.
BlueSpray leverages Bluewhite’s autonomous tractor sensing capabilities to provide plant-based spraying in high resolution that can integrate into any existing sprayers, adjusting spray volume and pressure in real-time based on plant size and density, reducing the amount of chemicals used and reducing spray drift without compromising on coverage. The BlueSpray data feeds into the Bluewhite data platform and is immediately available to the grower and to an agribusiness ecosystem for data insights, compliance, and business optimization. Space: R37, R39 │ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania As a fully autonomous robot powered by AI and outfitted with computer vision plus LiDAR, Burro Grande is the ‘Big Brother’ to the existing Burro platform and boasts a 5,000 lb towing capacity and 1,500 lb pallet scale carry capacity.
When paired with Atlas, Burro’s online route creation platform, users can construct, manage, and share routes across their fleet. Whether towing, carrying, or following, Burro Grande allows your existing equipment operators to step away from the seat of a Tractor/UTV, saving valuable labor. Space: P34, P36 │ Kingsburg, Calif.
Electric GUSS is an autonomous electric herbicide orchard sprayer manufactured by GUSS Automation in Kingsburg, California. Electric GUSS is the first electric autonomous herbicide orchard sprayer in the world and allows a single employee to operate and monitor a combination of up to eight GUSS machines from the safety of his or her vehicle using a laptop computer. This driverless electric herbicide sprayer uses a combination of LiDAR, GPS, cameras, and more to safely and autonomously drive through the orchard, day or night, row after row reducing emissions and saving spray material.
Space: RD5 │ Lucan, Minnesota EZ Cut Seal Remover quickly and safely removes seals from most chemical containers without getting debris in the spray or sprayer.

This remarkable Smart Sprayer operates day or night, regardless of weather conditions.
With its lightweight design, it swiftly accesses the field, and its formidable power takes on even the largest weeds. Space: U35│ Salinas, Calif. The Oliver Colibri is the only mechanical weeder available for high density weeding applications.
Utilizing automated camera technology, the Colibri identifies the exact position of the crop and precisely places sawtooth blades between the seed lines. The Colibri’s steel weeding discs are mounted on hydraulic parallelograms with an independent hydraulic system to ensure uniform and consistent cultivation performance. The Colibri can be used on row spacings as tight as 1.
75” making mechanical cultivation possible for the first time in high density crops such as spinach and carrot. Space: T31 │ Mission Viejo, Calif. The Shark Wheel was invented to solve all wheel issues in center pivot irrigation.
The Shark Wheel SWIFT eliminates flat tires, solves rutting, has 60 second repairs if needed, increases crop yield, and reduces soil compaction. The center pivot/lateral move irrigation wheel leaves a DNA helix footprint in the soil. The front wheel pushes the soil right-left-right, and the rear wheel pushes the soil left-right-left right back where it started! Space: Pavilion B 2524 │ Yuba City, Calif.
Shockwave X is the World’s First Autonomous Tree Shaker. Orchard Machinery Corp along with Bonsia have created the first Driverless Tree Shaker with no Lidar or GPS. The machine will also be outfitted with a deck for shaking pistachios.
