)
Saga Robotics' Thorvald robot controls pathogens without chemicals, fuel, or labor. The autonomous robot applies UV-C with proven control over e.g., powdery mildew and insect pests with clear ROI to the grower. Passing crops up to 2x a week, Thorvald's on-board cameras can also monitor the field. Thorvald is on track to grow California vineyard deployments 10x '24-'25 and is becoming an industry standard in UK strawberries with 10% of berries past season. With high utilization (>600 miles per season), a Thorvald robot is an excellent platform for the farmer to familiarize with 'autonomous ag' and attack the long tail of other tasks through add-on tools.
