Fieldwork Robotics is developing the world’s first autonomous raspberry harvesting robot. We lead the market globally in the robotic harvesting of fresh raspberries and our technology is being adapted to the needs of growers across multiple continents.
Berry growers across the world are facing unprecedented labour costs and a shortage of available fruit pickers. Road miles and importation costs, food inflation and reduced consumer choice have all contributed to increased harvesting wage costs. This has created an unsustainable situation with significant impacts on food waste, food costs and climate emissions.
Presently, up to 30% of crops are left unpicked due to harvesting labour shortages, meaning that huge amounts of fresh produce is going to waste.
Fieldwork’s technology provides growers with a fully autonomous robotic raspberry harvester that will harvest at the same speed and quality as human pickers.
