TerraClear Rock Picker
The TerraClear Rock Picker is an AI-powered autonomous rock clearing system that identifies and removes rocks from agricultural fields, protecting equipment and improving field quality. The system starts with drone-based aerial survey using computer vision to map every rock in the field, then deploys a tractor-mounted robotic arm to autonomously pick rocks at a rate of 400+ rocks per hour. This process prevents combine and tillage equipment damage, reduces crop loss around rock obstacles, and saves hundreds of labor hours per season. The system has been deployed across the Pacific Northwest and Midwest, clearing thousands of acres of farmland.
