How TRIC Robotics is reducing pesticide use on strawberries using UV light
TRIC Robotics raises a $5.5 million seed round for tractor-sized robots that use UV light to help eliminate bacteria and pests on strawberry plants. The technology is aimed at reducing pesticide use on strawberries.
TRIC Robotics uses autonomous UV-C robots to help strawberry growers reduce pesticide use. The tractor-sized machines treat fields overnight, using UV light to kill bacteria and damage pest populations, while vacuums collect bug residue without harming crops. The company provides the robots as a service to four large strawberry producers, has deployed nine, and raises a $5.5 million seed round to expand its fleet.
