Eurecat is Catalonia’s leading technological center and one of Southern Europe’s largest private research
organizations. It offers applied R&D, IT consulting, training, and product development services to businesses. With
11 offices in Catalonia and one in Latin America, it manages a turnover of over 60 million euros and employs 800
professionals. Eurecat participates in 60+ EU projects, holds 200+ patents, and has 9 spin-offs, driving innovation
and technology transfer across sectors.

Eurecat contributes to the AgRibot project with expertise in XR technology, VR training platforms, and robot
monitoring, control and skill learning. It leads the integration of pilot studies, participating in harvesting and
pruning ones, to be carried out in Belgium and Spain

“Innovation with social and economic impact.”

"Our work in collaborative robotics enables AgRibot to safely integrate robots alongside human workers in the field. By designing adaptable systems, we ensure robots support, not replace, skilled labor. This collaboration is key to addressing labor gaps while improving agricultural resilience."

Néstor GarcíaPhD, Principal Investigator

"At AgRibot, we're developing robot learning algorithms that enable mobile manipulators to learn complex agricultural tasks from experienced farmers. This approach ensures the robots adapt to diverse farming environments and practices. By integrating these intelligent systems, AgRibot enhances efficiency and supports sustainable agriculture."

Alberto San MiguelPhD, Senior Researcher

My role in AgRibot involves designing collaborative robots that work seamlessly alongside humans in tasks like pruning and harvesting. Through intuitive interfaces and adaptive learning, these robots reduce the physical strain on workers. AgRibot's innovations aim to make advanced robotic assistance accessible and beneficial to farmers."

Mario Cavero VidalMSc, Researcher

Óscar Palacín: received a B.Sc. in Automation Engineering from Universitat de Lleida, Spain, and M.Sc. in Robotics from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain. Researcher at Eurecat since 2022, focusing on robot manipulation, and project management for public and private robotics initiatives. He will work on the deployment of learned skills into the designated robotic platforms.

“At AgRibot, I'm involved in developing usability and interactivity enhancements through VR/XR interfaces and self-learning to improve knowledge transfer from farmers to robotic systems and improve on-farm outcomes.”

Oscar SerranoResearcher

"My role at AgRibot is to coordinate efforts to implement some of the VR/XR interfaces and training tools to collaborate with the Robotics team in the development of collaborative robots that work with humans on tasks such as pruning and harvesting.”

Toni TorrenteResearcher

Marina Urpí: is a graduate in Multimedia Systems from the University of Vic (Uvic) and is part of the Eurecat Visualization team in the Multimedia Technologies Technology Unit, where she develops webXR systems and interactive system interfaces for simulation, training and prototyping systems of VR and AR solutions. She will work on developments related to the integration of VR/XR/AR data for training and simulation systems.

The People Stepping Up

We are a mission-driven consortium with a top-tier team. Our expertise covers agriculture, robotics, AR/XR, 5G, environmental impact reduction, and worker safety. We bring together leaders from renowned institutions and companies across Europe to make AgRibot a reality—advancing sustainable, smart, and resilient agriculture.
