British Columbia-based mushroom-picking technology startup TechBrew Robotics has changed its name to 4AG Robotics and secured $17.5 million in funding.
4AG has developed fully autonomous, vision-guided robots designed to squeeze into mushroom-growing racks and gently pick, trim, clean, and pack them all hours of the day, enabling farmers to offset labour shortages, boost yields, and harvest mushrooms at the most optimal time, while also reducing energy waste. With multiple pilots under its belt, 4AG is now ready to take its robots to farms.
