TRIC Robotics was founded in 2017 by Adam Stager, a former postdoctoral researcher at the University of Delaware. The company was born from the idea of creating a more sustainable and predictable future for agriculture, with a grower's encouragement leading to the company's relocation from Delaware to the Central Coast of California.
The company provides an automated, chemical-free pest control solution for strawberry farms. Its primary service is designed to help farmers combat pests and diseases without resorting to traditional chemical pesticides. The business operates on a service-based model, deploying its technology to farms as needed.
The core of TRIC Robotics' offering is an autonomous robot that uses ultraviolet (UV-C) light to treat pathogens on strawberry plants. This system navigates the fields on its own, applying a specific wavelength of light that effectively controls pests and diseases without harming the plants or the environment. This approach offers a significant advantage over chemical alternatives, which can have negative environmental impacts and regulatory restrictions.
