Mark Robotics builds Bibi
Mark Robotics builds computer vision systems that analyze vineyard health from ground-level imagery and Bibi. Bibi is an autonomous scouting rover that captures high-resolution data between vine rows and uses AI to detect disease early, monitor canopy health, and track ripeness across the vineyard. Better data means earlier decisions — and healthier harvests.
Real data. Real vineyards.
From ground-level capture to block-level insight.
What Bibi sees
On-device computer vision detects leaves, bunches, and early-stage disease markers in real time — annotated as Bibi moves through the row.
What you see
Results surface as an interactive vineyard map — infection pressure per vine, scan timeline, and block controls, all in one view.
The Problem
Modern vineyards rely heavily on manual scouting to monitor disease and plant health.
But walking rows is slow, subjective, and expensive.
At the same time, vineyards are facing labor shortages, rising input costs, increasing pressure to reduce chemicals. The result: important signals in the vineyard are often missed.
Many vineyards apply fungicides 10+ times per season as preventive treatment.
In some regions, fungicide applications represent up to 70% of a vineyard's management costs.
Fungal diseases like downy and powdery mildew can wipe out 50–100% of a crop in a bad year if they aren't caught and controlled in time.
The Opportunity
Every vine tells a story — through leaves, berries, and canopy structure. Computer vision can read those signals.
Recent advances in machine learning make it possible to detect plant stress, disease, and development patterns directly from images — often before symptoms are obvious to the human eye. But to make this work at scale, vineyards need continuous, structured data from the field.
That's what we're building.
The Solution
Finds trouble early
Flags suspicious leaves and clusters from the ground, where early lesions and mildew spots actually appear.
Ripeness progression
Tracks berry color and development along rows so you can see how blocks are moving toward harvest.
Autonomous
Lets a small robot do the walking, and gives you a clear, simple view instead of hours of scouting.
Keeps your data yours
Designed with local-first processing in mind, so vineyard data stays under your control.
Pilot Program
We're working with a small number of vineyards this season to validate Bibi's performance in real conditions.
If you're interested in autonomous scouting, we'd love to talk.
