Field Ready Robotics
For Any Environment
Huroca combines advanced robotics and computer vision to automate agricultural processes.
Our Network
Validated in Simulation
Deployed in Reality
Huroca utilizes NVIDIA Isaac Sim technology to validate every movement before it happens in the real world. We bridge the gap between synthetic training and physical execution.
AI-Driven Perception
Our system uses Artificial Intelligence to identify the perfect injection site on the neck musculature instantly.
Chute Compatible
Designed as a modular add-on that integrates into your existing standard squeeze chutes without the need to rebuild your facility.
Robotic Precision
A 6-DOF robotic arm adjusts to animal variability in real-time, ensuring consistent depth and dosage regardless of animal size.
Robotics as a Service
The "Robotics-as-a-Service" model covers hardware, software, and maintenance, ensuring you are always operational without upfront CapEx risk.
Replacing manual risk
with robotic reliability.
Huroca brings industrial robotics and computer vision to the feedlot, delivering safer, faster, and perfectly accurate injections.
Operational Efficiency
Automates a labour-intensive and repetitive task, allowing for labour to be directed elsewhere
Safer Workplaces
Automation removes staff from the line of fire, reducing injuries, liability and exposure
Animal Welfare
Reliable vision system reduces the risk of injury to the animal
Reliability
Manual injections are dangerous and inconsistent. Huroca delivers repeatable accuracy.
Traceability
Automated logging of animal ID, dosage, and timestamp for accurate records.
Bringing technology where it’s
needed the most.
Huroca is a homegrown startup born in Lethbridge, Alberta the heart of Canada’s Feedlot Alley.
We saw a gap between advanced automation technology and the rugged, practical needs of Southern Alberta feedlots. Our mission is simple: to build the bridge that brings industry grade robotics directly to the chute.
