Treeswift uses robotics to serve the forestry market. There are 10B acres of forests in the world, and a large percentage of them will need to be monitored for timber, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, pest management, and wildfire risk and prevention. The founding team met at the University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Laboratory, considered to be one of the best robotics programs in the country. The company already has worked with Weyerhaeuser and American Forest Management, two of the biggest players in the forestry industry.
