The Times has published an article on Fieldwork Robotics titled “Fieldwork Robotics unjams shortage of fruit pickers with AI raspberry harvester”.
The Times has reported on Fieldwork Robotics’ technology, praising the robot harvester as a potential solution to industry shortages of seasonal fruit pickers. The climate tech investor Elbow Beach Capital has recently committed £1.5 million in funding to support Fieldwork Robotics.
David Fulton, Chief Executive of Fieldwork, said: “The human does an eight-hour shift; we can do three times that. When you consider the cost of waste, too, the unit economics actually starts to deliver a payback within less than two years.”
