Autonomous robotic picking platforms that could solve the world’s labour shortage.

Agriculture is facing a critical labour shortage, with unharvested crops being left to rot in the field. Autopickr has designed a reliable, and cost-effective robotic picking solution. Autopickr technology combines robotic arms with AI, a state of the art navigation system and a robust vehicle.

The platform will reduce the human requirement for harvesting crops and align with growers’ critical needs. Founded in 2022, by a team with 50 years of experience developing cutting edge robotics, Autopickr has been awarded $1m in grants this quarter, bringing total grant funding to over $2.2m. It has also initiated two new Innovate UK grant-backed projects worth £750K to adapt the asparagus harvester for other markets.
