Eden Robot at California

TRIC Robotics is a San Luis Obispo, California-based agricultural robotics startup deploying tractor-sized autonomous robots for sustainable strawberry farming. The company's Eden/Luna robots use UV-C light to eliminate pests and disease (mites, mildew, mold) at night, offsetting the need for chemical pesticides, and are equipped with bug vacuums.

TRIC raised $5.5M in seed funding in 2025 and offers robots-as-a-service so farmers pay no upfront cost, with each robot covering up to 100 acres of farmland.
