The Danish agritech company raises total of €2.5 million to accelerate development of operator-free field-robots
AgriRobot has received a financial boost for its software that eliminates the need for human operators to monitor field robots.
Leveraging technology from self-driving cars and last-mile delivery robots, AgriRobot is designing software to ensure the safety of autonomous tractors and robots, paving the way for a new era of efficient and sustainable farming.
And last week (11 December), the Danish firm announced the successful first closing of its latest funding round, which brings the total capital raised for this project to €2.5 million.
The round was led by Norminal Ventures, with participation from Tall Grass Ventures. And AgriRobot said the funds will be used to accelerate the development of its safety software while it continues to raise additional capital.
“We are excited to announce this significant milestone for AgriRobot,” said Tommy Ertbølle Madsen, CEO at AgriRobot. “This first close of our investment round will enable us to accelerate the development and deployment of our innovative software, helping farmers worldwide achieve safe and sustainable agricultural practices.”
Chris Edwards, managing partner at Tall Grass Ventures, added: “By addressing critical safety challenges, AgriRobot’s software empowers farmers to increase efficiency, reduce labour costs, and enhance crop quality while minimising risks,” said “With a highly technical and knowledgeable team, we are excited to watch as they bring functional safety to autonomous agricultural operations.”
AgriRobot’s software is designed to be modular and easily scalable, allowing for integration with various autonomous agricultural systems.
With a strong focus on safety compliance, AgriRobot said it is committed to providing equipment manufacturers with reliable and trustworthy solutions.
Founded in 2021 by a team with expertise in advanced robotics, agricultural compliance and functional safety analysis, AgriRobot is developing leading safety solutions for OEMs to enable the transition from semi to fully autonomous operations.
