Dogtooth Technologies
"Addressing Labour Shortages Using Intelligent Robotics"
UK developer of AI-powered autonomous robots for soft fruit harvesting, tackling labour shortages with intelligent strawberry and raspberry pickers.
Dogtooth Technologies is a UK agricultural robotics company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Royston, Hertfordshire. Founded by Duncan Robertson, Ed Herbert, and Frank Tully, Dogtooth builds autonomous robots that harvest soft fruits such as strawberries and raspberries in glasshouse and polytunnel environments. Its Gen 5 robot navigates crop rows autonomously, uses advanced computer vision and machine learning to identify ripe fruit, picks them with precision, performs 360-degree quality inspection, and places selected fruit into punnets at rates comparable to human pickers (approximately 200 kg per day).
The company has raised $20.3 million from investors including Octopus Ventures and LocalGlobe, and has deployed robots commercially across the UK and Australia.
