Making Healthy, Locally-Grown Produce Affordable And Accessible For All Through Environmentally Conscious Means
We incentivize farming through the creation of turn-key urban farms that utilize novel end-to-end labor automation and energy management systems to reduce costs.
By automating the entire food-growing process and controlling each farm remotely, Canopii can remove the unpredictability, inefficiencies, and expertise associated with industrial agriculture. This will allow us to create a reliable and sustainable network of farms in the communities they serve.
Abstract
The Phase I SBIR (award #2051419) was used to design, build, and demonstrate a subscale vertical farm prototype integrated with cost-effective labor automation and energy management technologies. This effort helps advance the implementation of robotics in food production by addressing the labor and energy barriers that local controlled environment agriculture systems currently face.
