The Challenge: Why Now?

Solving the Crisis at the Edge of the Field.

The agricultural sector is facing a perfect storm: vanishing rural labor, rising ESG pressures, and a 20% slope limit that renders traditional mechanization useless.

The Labor Gap

Skilled field labor is increasingly scarce as younger generations migrate toward urban centers.

Data Subjectivity

Human assessments are inherently subjective, leading to inconsistent field data and compromised decision-making.

The Terrain Barrier

High-value crops often grow on steep or narrow zones that remain dangerously unreachable for standard vehicles.

The Solution

Modular Autonomy for Precision Operations

We don't just build robots; we add the "brain" and the "tools" to existing quadruped hardware to capture value from previously invisible operational costs.

Precision Selective Harvesting

Perception AI coupled with controlled robotic manipulation to identify optimal ripeness and replicate expert manual picking at scale.

Expansion Roadmap

Our beachhead is the Brazilian coffee sector (responsible for 35% of the world's supply).

Pioneering modular autonomy here unlocks rapid deployment to Grapes, Citrus, and Berries across LATAM, Vietnam, and Southeast Asia.

Founder-Market Fit

Led by Miguel ChavesMiguel Chaves is the founder of YieldWalker. He graduated in Mechatronics Engineering from the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo, the top engineering school in Latin America. Selected by the MIT D-Lab and Olin College for the IDDS program, he spent multiple cycles in Boston working on human-centered design for emerging technologies targeting global social challenges and was later invited to join the program's teaching team. Backed by two MIT recommendation letters, he pursued his master's at ITA, one of the most prestigious aerospace engineering institutes in Latin America. In parallel, he was funded by MIT to build innovation projects in Brazil and taught innovation at Insper's School of Engineering., a Mechatronics Engineer (USP) and Master of Aerospace Engineering (ITA) with a history of scaling deep-tech ventures.
