Teaching Robots How to Pick Fruit

At this year’s European Robotics Forum, our partner Eurecat was a finalist for Best Paper with a smart, hands-on approach to one of agriculture’s biggest challenges: teaching robots to handle fruit harvesting with the same care and skill as a human.

AgRibot at ROBOTBRAG 2025

On May 8th, the AgRibot project made its debut at ROBOTBRAG 2025 in Odense, Denmark — and let’s just say, we weren’t the only ones buzzing about agri-robots!

AgriRobot Joins €4.97M Project to Advance Farm Robotics

Agribot – Harnessing Robotics, XR/AR, and 5G for a New Era of Safe, Sustainable, and Smart Agriculture – is funded by the European Commission
The project will develop and field-test six state-of-the-art robotic systems across Europe

Creating the Perfect Farm

As the world’s largest exporter of food, Europe sits at a pivotal moment. Our fields are feeding millions—but at what cost? Conventional agriculture has brought us far, but it’s also left our soils tired, our waters polluted, and biodiversity in retreat. Today, European farmers are being asked to do more than grow crops. They’re being asked to help heal the planet.
How can this shift be achieved and is embracing new technologies truly the key to revitalizing our lands?

The Last Dangerous Job? Why Agriculture Needs Safety Improvements

Europe’s food and farming sectors employ 8.7 million people — yet agriculture remains one of the most dangerous professions in the EU. Farm workers continue to face high rates of injury and chronic health risks, from accidents with heavy machinery to chemical exposure and physically demanding labor. Though usually under-reported, these hazards persist today, especially in small and mid-sized farms.

Welcoming AgRibot to the World

The AgRibot project is officially underway! Over two action-packed days (December 3-4, 2024), consortium members, project partners, and key stakeholders gathered to lay the foundation for an ambitious initiative. By harnessing cutting-edge robotics, augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI), AgRibot is set to revolutionize agriculture, making farming smarter, more efficient, and future-ready!
