AgriRobot develops advanced safety systems that make autonomous agricultural machines operate reliably without constant human supervision. Their software adds a high-integrity safety layer on top of existing control systems, enabling precise obstacle detection, safe geofencing, and stable operation even in challenging field conditions.
If an issue occurs, operators can access live video and manage the situation remotely, reducing downtime and ensuring safer, more autonomous workflows.
The grant means a great deal to us, and we appreciate that diversity is part of the criteria. It allows us to bring our technology to farmers faster and supports the next steps in our international development.
