Ground Control Robotics
Georgia Tech spinout commercializing centipede-inspired multi-legged robots for weed control and data collection in perennial crops (grapes, blueberries, strawberries) on terrain where wheeled automation fails. The robots use cable-driven legs across multiple motorized segments, decentralizing intelligence into mechanical design so each unit needs minimal sensing and computation and can cost in the thousand-dollar range, enabling swarm deployment. Pilot projects with a Georgia blueberry farmer and a vineyard owner are refining mobility and sensing. Backed by an NSF STTR Phase I award.
