2023 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Robust robot location and behaviors for on-farm navigation.

1 Sep 2023 to 31 Aug 2026

Awarded
£604,073
Total cost £862,962

English Growers' ability to obtain the large seasonal (75,000+ strong)(9) workforce needed to harvest field vegetables has been severely impacted by Covid-19, Brexit and declining migrant worker availability across Europe(10). This has become a national crisis that threatens the UK food system's resilience more than any other single challenge(11). Accordi...

2023 Collaborative R&D

AGRI-OPENCORE. Accelerated delivery of robotic crop harvesting systems for horticulture

1 Apr 2023 to 31 Mar 2026

Awarded
£444,947
Total cost £635,639

It is well accepted that due to Brexit, COVID, Ukraine and population demographics, the UK horticulture sector is heavily constrained by a lack of seasonal harvest labour. This year as crops have gone unpicked, NFU President Minette Batters stated that the sector was in an "absolute" food waste "crisis". DEFRA is working with industry to mitigate impacts....

Awarded
£1,126,437
Total cost £1,609,195

English Growers' ability to obtain the large seasonal (75,000 strong)(5) workforce to harvest field vegetables has been severely impacted by Covid-19, Brexit and declining migrant worker availability across Europe(10). Domestic labour ('Pick for Britain') cannot replace the need(11). As price-takers with low margins, growers cannot profitably offer higher...

Awarded
£133,986
Total cost £191,408

Growers' ability to obtain large **seasonal workforces** to harvest field vegetables has been severely impacted by Covid-19, Brexit and declining migrant **worker availability** across Europe(4). English agriculture needs an alternative to the annual 75,000 migrant harvest labourers(5). Domestic labour does not provide a solution: very few 'Pick for Brita...

2021 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Building Resilient Robotic Harvesters for High Value Field Vegetables

1 Mar 2021 to 31 Mar 2022

Awarded
£296,923
Total cost £423,332

This industrial research project will further develop the capabilities of an existing robotic vegetable harvesting concept in order to develop a prototype that can be used for commercial trials during the 2022 harvest season in the UK. There will be a special focus on the resilience of the machine in an in-field environment as well as cyber threats from e...
