Description

Did you know there are robots that make growing food as easy as playing Farmville? FarmBot is an open-source, automated system that operates like a 3D printer for gardens, capable of planting seeds, watering, and monitoring plants autonomously.

 

In this episode, Jon Hirschtick sits down with Rory Aronson, the CEO and founder of Farmbot, to learn of the company’s origins, the challenges of developing such a complex product, the advantages of open-source design, and the impactful applications of FarmBot (including an initiative for coral reef restoration). In addition, Rory shares why he chose Onshape as the company’s design tool and how its platform enables collaborative design processes.
