Upside Robotics
Waterloo, Canada
Agricultural Robotics · Founded 2024 · Seed
Upside Robotics builds solar-powered, autonomous field robots that deliver nitrogen and other nutrients to corn in small, precise doses. Its flagship Maize Runner is about 22 inches wide, so it fits between 30-inch corn rows, and it refills itself at a base station. The company says its robots can cut nitrogen use by up to 70 percent and reduce soil compaction, with a stated target of covering 100 acres per unit each week. Its robots have been operating across about 3,000 corn acres in Ontario, Canada. Upside Robotics was founded in 2024 and is based in Waterloo, Ontario. It raised a $7.5 million seed round led by Plural, bringing its total funding to more than $11 million, and it is taking pre-orders for the 2027 season.
