About
Mineral was an Alphabet project focused on applying AI and robotics to agriculture. The project developed a rover equipped with advanced sensors and AI to gather high-quality images of plants and collect data on growing conditions. The goal was to build an 'operating manual' for plants to improve agricultural practices, increase yields, and promote sustainability. In 2024, Mineral's AI technology was transferred to Driscoll's and John Deere.
