Our Solution
4AG Robotics has developed a fully autonomous, vision-guided mushroom harvesting robot. The robot attaches to the farm’s existing shelving so there’s no need for changes to farm infrastructure. They are transportable and can move easily between growing rooms when needed.
On the Farm
4AG Robotics has completed deployments on 3 farms and are currently live on them.
The robots thinned, trimmed, packed and brought mushrooms to the front of each room.
With the vast amount of data being collected, the robots will use AI to make smarter decisions over time. Decisions about which mushrooms to thin, which mushrooms to harvest, and when to harvest. This will vastly improve yield as compared to human pickers.
World Mushroom Production
North American, European and Australian markets produce close to 900K tonnes of fresh mushrooms annually. We plan to focus on these markets first before eventually targeting Asia. China produces 70% of the world’s fresh mushrooms and although they do not face the same labour issues as other parts of the world, we believe they will benefit from this technology.
Most modern farms throughout the world use standardized growing shelves. This allows our technology to be deployed – with minimal customization – to farms all over the world. From Canada to China, our robots can retrofit to your farm and get right to work!

The Goderich Energy Storage Centre is our first commercial A-CAES facility
Entirely fuel-free, the plant produces zero greenhouse gas emissions, and helps enable a cleaner, more affordable, and more flexible electricity grid.
With 1.75 megawatts (MW) of peak power output; a 2.2 MW charge rating; and 10+ megawatt-hours (MWh) of storage capacity, this utility-scale commercial application of A-CAES technology is a significant achievement, conforming to all interconnection, uptime, performance and dispatch standards as set out by the IESO.
Emotion’s Goderich energy storage facility proves out the ability of Emotion’s A-CAES technology to fully participate in and deliver a range of valuable grid services to electricity markets.
Validated performance characteristics
Contributing to deeper understanding of commercial A-CAES facilities at utility scale, corroborating performance and operational metrics, and supporting research in partnership with regional academic institutions.
Electricity grid
Facility is fuel free, enabling the province to utilize surplus baseload electricity as a fuel source to provide cost-effective and valuable generating capacity for Ontario.
Economic
Supporting economic diversification in cleantech alongside significant construction expenditures and related jobs within the community.
