Down on the farm: Kenny Lee (left) and Richard Warden, Aigen

I first came across an Aigen robot parked on the carpet in a Las Vegas convention room last December, far from any dusty farm field, its natural habitat. It looks like a table on wheels, but, as it turns out, it’s a lot more complicated.

The company that makes the robot is called Aigen, and it had been selected for the AWS Startups programme and the Compute for Climate Fellowship in 2025, run by AWS and Unesco.
