About Us

Transform Agriculture with Autonomy.

TRIC Robotics is transforming pest managemernt through autonomous robotics that help growers reduce chemical inputs, improve profitability, and protect crops more sustainably.

Founded with the belief that agriculture deserves better tools, not simply more chemicals, we partner with growers to deliver Robot-as-a-Service solutions that work night after night across California’s strawberry fields.

“Automation is the key to unlocking greater efficiency on the farm, allowing farmers to grow more with less, without damaging the planet.”

Our Philosophy

Built With Growers, Not Just For Growers

The best agricultural technology isn’t developed in an office.

It’s developed in the field.

Every generation of TRIC robots has been shaped by conversations with growers, farm managers, crop consultants, and researchers. Their feedback continues to influence every improvement we make.

That commitment to listening, learning, and iterating quickly remains at the heart of our company.

Our Mission

Helping Growers Produce More With Less

Our mission is simple:

To accelerate the adoption of autonomous farming technologies that improve profitability while reducing agriculture’s environmental footprint.

We believe the future of farming will be driven by intelligent automation that helps growers produce healthier food using fewer chemical inputs.

Our Story

From Prototype to Commercial Scale

TRIC Robotics didn’t begin in a laboratory.

It began with a simple question:

What if we could replace many chemical pesticide applications with autonomous robots?

From our first prototype in Delaware strawberry fields to commercial deployment throughout California, we’ve worked alongside growers, researchers, and crop consultants to continuously improve our technology through real-world experience.

Today, our autonomous fleet protects commercial strawberry acreage every night while helping shape the future of sustainable agriculture.
