AgriRobot is developing certifiable software that aims to eliminate the need for human operators to monitor robots in the field. Leveraging advanced technology from self-driving cars and last-mile delivery robots, AgriRobot’s software aims to ensure the safety of autonomous tractors and robots, paving the way for a new era of efficient and sustainable farming.
It has announced the successful first closing of its latest funding round. This investment brings the total capital raised by the company to more than €2.5m and aims to fuel AgriRobot’s mission to enable safe and efficient autonomous agricultural operations.
The round was led by Norminal Ventures, a Danish venture finance company specialising in Deep Tech investments with participation from Tall Grass Ventures, the Canadian venture capital firm specialising in early-stage investments in agriculture and food technology. The funds will be used to accelerate the development of safety software while they continue to raise additional capital.
Founded in 2021 by a team with deep expertise in advanced robotics, agricultural compliance and functional safety analysis, the company is already supporting farmers and OEMs from New Zealand to Europe to implement fully autonomous operations.
“We are excited to announce this significant milestone for AgriRobot,” says AgriRobot CEO Tommy Ertbølle Madsen, an experienced roboticist with extensive expertise in designing and leading innovative solutions in mobile robotics and automated agricultural vehicles.
“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.”
Bridging the gap between research and real world
Madsen says he is passionate about bridging the gap between research and real-world applications, and dedicated to creating high-impact solutions that boost agricultural productivity while promoting environmental sustainability and safety.
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 is committed to providing equipment manufacturers with reliable and trustworthy solutions.
