About Tortuga AgTech
Tortuga developed mobile harvesting systems that combined crop imaging, fruit detection, ripeness classification and robotic picking. Its strawberry robots travelled through growing environments, located suitable fruit and used manipulation hardware designed to reach and detach delicate produce without damaging neighbouring plants. A wider operating fleet generated data on crop variation, picking success and failure recovery.
Oishii acquired Tortuga’s key intellectual property, assets and selected engineering personnel in March 2025. The technology is being integrated with Oishii’s vertically farmed strawberry operations and its Yaskawa automation partnership. The acquisition ended Tortuga’s independent operation, and its perception, hardware and fleet experience now sit within Oishii.
Timeline
Events
- 2025-03-24 - Acquisition - Tortuga AgTech transfers robotics assets and expertise to Oishii
The transfer includes AI models, robotics software and hardware design technology. Oishii plans to incorporate the acquired technology into its own farm-automation systems. Machine-vision, AI, software and hardware engineers from Tortuga will help advance Oishii’s harvesting robots.

Notes
Profile notes
- Tortuga sells harvesting capacity as a service rather than only selling robots
reviewed 2026-07-19 - Tortuga deploys harvesting robots with growers and operates around crop-specific harvesting work. Its commercial offer can be based on delivered harvest capacity rather than a customer purchasing and maintaining a robot fleet.
