项目摘要

The **FLEXBOT** project aims to improve labour productivity in English soft fruit farming operations by integrating collaborative logistics robots (cobots) into the farms.Lead partner **Fox Robotics** will develop and showcase three primary outcomes: demonstrating the feasibility of supply chain interoperability between suppliers, exploring a sustainable business model for small to medium-sized fruit and crop farmers, and establishing an autonomous fruit-farming cobot undertaking various logistics tasks.The project aims to illustrate English fruit farms' scalable productivity and profitability while encouraging a small ecosystem of add-on suppliers and demonstrating the potential for cobot integration into other farm types.The project is a multidisciplinary collaborative R&D activity that aims to align with Defra recommendations and remediate significant fragmentation between technology providers and end-users.Fox Robotics will work with **Agri-EPI Centre**, **three British fruit farms**, and the **University of Surrey** on this project and hire four small innovative businesses to improve their value proposition to farmers by providing complementary technology, products, and services that can be integrated into the cobot platform and scaled as farmers invest in their fleet.The FLEXBOT project aims to move the fragmented and siloed Agri-tech industry towards standardisation using mobile cobot platforms.

**FLEXBOT** 项目旨在通过将协作物流机器人 (cobots) 集成到农场中来提高英国软果种植业务的劳动生产率。主要合作伙伴 **Fox Robotics** 将开发并展示三个主要成果：展示供应商之间供应链互操作性的可行性、为中小型果农和农作物种植者探索可持续的商业模式，以及建立一个自主水果种植协作机器人，承担各种任务。该项目旨在展示英国果园的可扩展生产力和盈利能力，同时鼓励附加供应商组成的小型生态系统，并展示协作机器人集成到其他农场类型的潜力。该项目是一项多学科协作研发活动，旨在与 Defra 建议保持一致，并纠正技术提供商和最终用户之间的严重分裂。Fox Robotics 将与 **Agri-EPI 合作中心**、**三个英国果园**和**萨里大学**参与该项目，并聘请四家小型创新企业通过提供互补的技术、产品和服务来提高对农民的价值主张，这些技术、产品和服务可以集成到协作机器人平台中，并随着农民对其车队的投资而扩展。FLEXBOT 项目旨在使用移动协作机器人平台将分散和孤立的农业技术行业推向标准化。
