LONGMONT Left Hand Robotics Inc., a Longmont startup that has developed an autonomous snow-plowing robot, may now be owned by Minnesota-based The Toro Co. (NYSE: TTC), but the firm plans to stay put in Boulder County.
“The Left Hand Robotics team will continue to operate from its facility in Longmont, working closely with The Toro Co.’s engineering and technology teams around the world,” a Toro spokesman told BizWest in an email.
Toro announced this week that it has acquired Left Hand for an undisclosed sum.
Left Hand Robotics founder Terry Olkin will continue to lead the local operation.
“The Toro Co. values the experience and expertise of Left Hand’s founders and employees,” the company said.
