About
Mineral was an Alphabet company focused on using AI and robotics to develop a more sustainable, resilient, and productive food system. They developed a novel learning platform and AI models, working with partners worldwide to understand agriculture challenges. Their technology, including AI tools for crop phenotyping, yield forecasting, quality inspections, and food waste reduction, was acquired by Driscoll’s and John Deere in 2024. The Mineral rover used AI, sensors, and robotics to gather high-quality images of plants and other data, enabling the team to identify patterns and insights into plant growth.
