FarmX’s Latest Move Brings AI Directly Into the Field

FarmX acquires Amos Power to link AI agronomy with autonomous electric tractors in one unified farming platform

10 Feb 2026

FarmX has acquired Amos Power, a US maker of autonomous electric tractors, in a move to combine artificial intelligence-driven agronomy with farm machinery.

The California-based company said the deal, completed on February 1, 2026, would integrate its software platform, including computer vision and machine learning tools, with Amos Power’s autonomous vehicle systems. Financial terms were not disclosed.

FarmX develops sensor networks, AI-led irrigation systems and predictive analytics used across a range of crops. Amos Power, based in Cedar Falls, Iowa, produces compact electric tractors designed for precision work in vineyards and other confined environments.

Its machines operate in narrow rows and on sloped terrain, with capacity to handle gradients of about 30 per cent. The acquisition brings together software and hardware into a single platform aimed at supporting fully autonomous field operations.

Tushar Dave, chief executive of FarmX, said the deal would help move beyond fixed automation. The combined system is intended to “continuously learn from field conditions” rather than rely on pre-set routines.

The platform integrates sensor data, real-time crop analysis and vehicle perception systems. It supports tasks such as navigation between crop rows, obstacle detection and adaptive execution of fieldwork. The approach is designed to improve performance in areas where GPS-based systems are less reliable.

Existing Amos Power customers are expected to gain access to expanded capabilities, including more responsive and data-driven operations.

The transaction was accompanied by additional funding to support integration and expansion, though FarmX did not disclose the size of the investment or its backers.

The deal reflects a broader shift in the US agricultural technology sector, where software-focused companies are acquiring or building hardware capabilities. The aim is to deliver measurable improvements at the field level rather than standalone digital tools.

For growers, the trend comes as labour shortages and cost pressures persist. Companies are increasingly offering integrated systems that combine data collection, decision-making and automated machinery.

Further consolidation is expected as groups seek scale and more complete technology stacks to support adoption.
