TRIC Robotics
TRIC Robotics builds autonomous agricultural robots that replace chemical pesticides with ultraviolet light. Its flagship platform, Luna, is a tractor-scale robot that roams California strawberry fields after dark, using UV-C light to kill fungal pathogens such as powdery mildew and botrytis while a mechanical "Bug Vac" removes pests like Lygus bugs, spotted wing drosophila, and spider mites — without a single drop of pesticide. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Adam Stager and Vishnu Somasundaram out of the University of Delaware and now based in California, TRIC operates a robotics-as-a-service model that requires no upfront investment from growers, and reports pesticide reductions of up to 70% across the farms it serves. The company raised a $5.5M seed round led by Version One Ventures to expand its fleet across Santa Maria, Oxnard, and Watsonville. TRIC Robotics is an agricultural robotics operator and does not currently publish a public developer API, SDK, or developer portal; this profile captures its company identity in the API Evangelist network.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles TRIC Robotics the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — TRIC Robotics scores 9.7/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile TRIC Robotics
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for TRIC Robotics. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
