GrazeMate

Corporate marketagricultureCurated record

GrazeMate builds autonomous drone systems ('robot cowboys') that use proprietary reinforcement-learning models to herd cattle across grazing systems. Ranchers control operations via a mobile app, with real-time cattle-behavior monitoring and fence/trough inspection. The platform includes a lease-based hardware model combined with a monthly software subscription. Second-generation features add cattle-weight estimation and dry-matter analytics.
