Harvesting innovation: The story behind @TortugaAgTech #autonomous harvesting robots bit.ly/3PrlhCv

The @TortugaAgTech strawberry and table grape harvesting robot is the winner of the Ag Robot of the Year 2024 award. The robot is primarily designed for harvesting but can also collect data for forecasts, treat plants with UV-C light and perform trimming. futurefarming.com/tech-in-focus/…

Our farm customers deal with extreme heat, rain, flooding, dust… so we do too! Farm robots require AI, software, and hardware sophistication - and that’s just the start. Our Model F and G robots get the job done. See you next week at FIRA USA, Booth 31! youtube.com/watch?v=l54ZrT…

Despite what you may think at first about robots and jobs, at Tortuga, we’re actively creating jobs. We even train or hire farm workers to manage robots. Working at Tortuga is hard, rewarding work, upskilling, and enjoying the outdoors, all in one! cnbc.com/2023/08/06/aut…

The Summer Berry Company is one of the very best growers we’ve met in the world. We’re grateful for our innovation partnership. Here’s a new feature on our work together. Picking 10,000’s+ of berries every day, plus forecasting and UV-C pest control! summerberry.co.uk/innovation/rob…

We fully endorse this LA Times Op-Ed, and we’re honored to be featured. Many farmers and startups are trying to innovate, and thoughtful public policy and investment is critical, given challenges like climate, labor availability, and necessary regulation. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

We’re very proud of our partnership with The Summer Berry Company since 2018, and thank you to Cibus Fund for the support! (Paywall) hortweek.com/summer-berry-c…

With increased focus on emerging #agricultural #technologies, @TheAgritect Henry Gordon-Smith and @TortugaAgTech CEO Eric Adamson outlined the current state of #ag #tech and essential challenges. foodinstitute.com/ag-com/experts… #foodindustry #esg #environment

Sustainability and resilience aren’t buzzwords or marketing campaigns. They need to be built into your business and mission. Our robots work on sustainable farms and help them build resilience and profit. Thanks @BuiltInColorado for recognizing us! builtin.com/greentech/envi…

Specialty crop growers face unique challenges in the ag industry. In this article, learn how companies like @AFTrobots, @TortugaAgTech, @FarmWiseLabs, & @carbon_robotics are combining camera-based imaging, AI, and robotics to increase efficiency and yield. linkedin.com/posts/the-vine…

Many robots are cool tech looking for a problem. Our approach is different: start with your customer’s real-world economics, understand their operations, THEN prototype the tech and iterate like crazy. We call this “Essential Robotics” in our latest blog: @tortugaagtech/essential-robotics-ff03db7b59aa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@tortugaagtech…

We’re proud to be named one of @ThriveAgriFood’s Top 50! Thrive is a great community. We are all striving to improve our food system with tech. Tortuga is excited to lead the scale-up of advanced harvesting robots in challenging farm environments. thriveagrifood.com/release-svg-ve…

Kicking off our @THRIVEAgriFood Silicon Valley Week activities with a discussion with AgriTech scaleup founders from @TortugaAgTech and @instacrops #WorldAgriTech #SiliconValleyWeek

A great panel featuring a number of impressive ag robotics companies. The work on farm is only getting started, but the future is exciting!

These "tribes" are not all mutually exclusive - only pure pastoralism is. We can pursue plentiful energy, build dense, resilient networks, find low-hanging fruit (we are!), live more within our means, set carbon/eco goals, and also, prepare for the worst by being more resilient.
