Dogtooth Technologies

Dogtooth Technologies is an agricultural robotics company developing and manufacturing AI-powered robotic harvesters for soft fruit, particularly strawberries. The company’s fifth-generation robots use computer vision and AI to identify, pick, harvest, and grade ripe fruit, with self-navigation capabilities between crop rows. Dogtooth’s robots operate in standard tabletop infrastructure in glasshouses and polytunnels, can harvest at night and in low temperatures to scale with harvest peaks through multiple shifts, and feature a patented 360-degree inspection system that determines mass, ripeness, and identifies defects for every picked berry. The robots also provide yield monitoring and forecasting by counting berries at each stage of maturity as they travel along crop rows. A web portal gives growers real-time insight into crop conditions, yield, and defect rates, with remote adjustment of ripeness and grading settings. Dogtooth has been harvesting commercially on 10 customer sites over 10 seasons, manufacturing hundreds of robots per year, and serves customers across the globe including the UK and Australia. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Royston, United Kingdom, the company has raised approximately $28.8 million in Series A funding. Investors include Octopus Ventures, LocalGlobe, FII Institute, Angel CoFund, Martlet Capital, UKRI, and EMV Capital.
