Founder
Tyler Niday co-founded Bonsai Robotics in 2022 with Ugur Oezdemir and serves as CEO. He spent seven years at Blue River Technology and John Deere developing See and Spray precision agriculture technology, then designed equipment at Orchard Machinery Corporation before starting Bonsai. The company builds vision based autonomous machines for off-road environments, beginning with orchard and row crop agriculture, that operate without GPS or cellular connectivity. In 2025 Bonsai acquired farm-ng to pair its autonomy software with farm-ng's Amiga hardware platform.
