Autonomous
Precision Vaccinations
Huroca combines advanced robotics and computer vision to automate agricultural processes.
Industry and Academic 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 Mask R-CNN (Detectron2) 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.
Zero Downtime
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 every single time.
Risk-Free Precision
Manual injections are dangerous and inconsistent. Huroca delivers perfect, repeatable accuracy eliminating site lesions and ensuring exact dosing protocols.
Safer Workplaces
Automation removes staff from the “line of fire,” drastically reducing injuries, liability exposure, and insurance costs.
Animal Welfare
Touchless vision systems lower handling stress, reducing dark-cutting beef risks.
Operational Efficiency
Solves staffing shortages so your crew can apply their expertise where it matters most
Traceability
Automated logging of animal ID, dosage, and timestamp. 100% 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.
