Climate CEOs: Scaling Startups

Smart Agriculture Robots: Precision Farming + Reduced Resource Use


Listen Later

Learn how Tortuga AgTech deploys robotics & AI to optimize farm productivity, reduce waste, & accelerate sustainable agriculture.


Led by CEO Eric Adamson, Tortuga AgTech aims to raise agricultural margins and reduce hard human working conditions by delivering innovative robotic crop pickers to farmers throughout the world.

Below are two excerpts from the podcast.

"Our aim is to solve the farm’s hardest problem, which we view to be the crushing labor of manual hand harvesting by creating robotic crop pickers, which we believe will then fundamentally shift the rest of the industry because when you relieve the pressure point of the system everything else changes naturally."

"When we meet with farmers we never lead with the fact that we are applying four machine learning models to the decision of whether or not to pick a berry. Instead, we lead with a pick quality rate which is as good or better than any human. We also make an effort to demonstrate that we are listening to farmers and have listened to other farmers before them. I think this grounds Tortuga in the problem we are actively trying to solve."

Here is the transcript summary of the podcast:
