About

About Saga Robotics Inc Saga Robotics is the company behind Thorvald, a modular and field-proven autonomous robotic platform designed for grapevine and strawberry production. Saga Robotics delivers automated services that help growers reduce chemical use, improve operational efficiency, and make better decisions at scale. Thorvald operates commercially in the United States and the United Kingdom where it is used for autonomous UV-C disease control and precision data collection. The platform is designed to work in real farming conditions, navigating complex environments such as vineyards and tabletop strawberry systems while operating reliably night after night. Saga Robotics is best known for its UV-C light treatment service for powdery mildew control. Using precise timing and dosage, Thorvald applies UV-C light to disrupt fungal DNA without harming crops, reducing the need for chemical fungicides. The system is built on decades of scientific research and years of large-scale commercial operation, with proven results across multiple seasons. In addition to disease control, Thorvald provides automated data services. As it moves through the field, the robot can detect and count fruit and flowers at scale, delivering row-level insights that replace manual scouting. These data help growers understand crop load earlier in the season and support more informed planning and harvest decisions. With over five years of commercial operations, Saga Robotics is one of the few agricultural robotics companies delivering repeatable, autonomous services at scale. The company’s aim is to support a more sustainable and efficient food system by reducing chemical inputs, improving working conditions, and enabling growers to farm with greater precision and confidence.
