AgriRobot raises over €2.5M to boost safety software for agricultural robots
AgriRobot, a Danish agritech innovator specialising in safety software for autonomous agricultural machinery, has secured over €2.5 million in seed equity and grant funding to date.
The company’s software aims to eliminate the need for human operators to monitor field robots, enabling safe, efficient, and sustainable farming practices.
The latest funding round, led by Norminal Ventures with support from Tall Grass Ventures, will be used to accelerate the development of AgriRobot’s certifiable safety software, which leverages technology from self-driving cars and last-mile delivery robots.
Pioneering functional safety
AgriRobot’s modular software ensures the safe operation of autonomous tractors and field robots, addressing critical safety challenges that hinder the wider adoption of automation in farming. The software is designed to integrate seamlessly with various agricultural systems, offering manufacturers a scalable solution for advancing towards fully autonomous operations.
Chris Edwards, Managing Partner at Tall Grass Ventures, added, “AgriRobot is tackling one of the most pressing challenges in autonomous agriculture—safety. Their solutions promise to reduce labor costs, enhance crop quality, and mitigate risks for farmers worldwide.”
Bridging the gap to full autonomy
Founded in 2021, AgriRobot’s team brings expertise in advanced robotics, agricultural compliance, and functional safety analysis. Their solutions are geared toward original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), facilitating the transition from semi-autonomous to fully autonomous field operations.
As AgriRobot continues to raise additional capital, the company is focused on advancing its safety software to meet compliance requirements and market demands. Farmers and equipment manufacturers can look forward to safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly farming technologies.
Price and Availability
AgriRobot’s first commercial solution, Iintergrate is already available. The first step towards making an agricultural vehicle autonomous is to ntergrate leverages cameras, radar and lidar sensors to implement the AgriRobot software into OEM machinery. Investment varies based on complexity of application and is identified during an initial two to three week assessment phase.
The company is also planning to launch their SAFE software solution in 2025, which enables OEMs to achieve compliance to relevant safety standards.
