Tevel Aerobotics Technologies
Tevel Aerobotics Technologies is an Israeli startup developing AI-powered flying autonomous robots for agricultural harvesting, with autonomous drone technology applicable to defense logistics and reconnaissance.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Tevel develops Flying Autonomous Robots (FAR) that use advanced AI, computer vision, and machine learning algorithms to autonomously harvest fruit in orchards. The robots determine fruit ripeness, pick with minimal bruising, and collect real-time data on orchard conditions. The company operates globally across Italy, the United States, Chile, and Israel.
The core autonomous drone technology platform, including AI-based navigation, computer vision for object recognition, and coordinated multi-robot operations, represents significant dual-use potential. The same capabilities that enable precise fruit identification and picking in complex orchard environments can be adapted for defense applications including autonomous reconnaissance, logistics delivery in contested environments, and coordinated swarm operations.
Tevel has raised over $20 million from investors including Kubota Corporation, ITOCHU Technology Ventures, Mitsui & Co., and TechAviv Founder Partners.
