Strawberry Robotics, Inc. builds advanced robotic harvesting systems for strawberry farming. Using a patented series-parallel hybrid manipulator, their technology enables high-speed, automated fruit picking to address agricultural labor shortages.
Strawberry Robotics is developing an AI-powered harvesting platform for specialty agriculture, beginning with fresh-market strawberries. The company's patented SHARP (Series-Parallel Hydrostatic Arm for Robotic Picking) manipulators and simulation-first AI software stack are designed to enable fast, gentle, and economically viable robotic harvesting in one of agriculture's most challenging environments. Rather than asking growers to purchase expensive equipment, Strawberry Robotics will operate under a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, charging per harvested flat. This aligns the company's success directly with grower productivity while reducing adoption barriers. Starting with California's approximately $1.5 billion annual strawberry harvest labor market, Strawberry Robotics is building a technology platform that can expand into additional high-value specialty crops over time.
