The Iron Ox Grover was an autonomous mobile robot designed for indoor greenhouse and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). It navigated hydroponic grow facilities, handling the heavy lifting of moving grow trays between planting, growing, and harvesting stations while monitoring plant health along the way.

Working in concert with Iron Ox’s AI-powered growing platform, Grover enabled a largely automated greenhouse operation where crops were monitored 24/7 by sensors and AI, with the robot handling physical tasks that traditionally required manual labor.
