YC-backed ag robotics startup building the Field Hand autonomous weeding robot and offering weeding-as-a-service to commercial growers, especially vegetable and organic farms. Public web profiles agree on the core product and team, though the company website also contains some template-like farm content, so some site pages appear less reliable than the YC/LinkedIn/company-profile sources.
