Muddy Machines Ltd. has acquired key assets and intellectual property from Fox Robotics Ltd., a startup focused on the challenges and operations of soft fruit farms.
The acquisition allows Muddy Machines to offer growers a wider selection of autonomous systems, with the renamed Squirrel robot as a competitor to Burro Robotics' field robot.
Muddy Machines also has its existing robot, Sprout, which is a precision agriculture platform for specialty crops grown in open fields.
Muddy Machines is raising funds to accelerate the delivery of its robotic solutions to the market.
