我们的目标是开发世界上第一个商业蘑菇采摘机器人，为最终用户提供改变游戏规则的生产力，降低劳动力利用率，增加产量和减少食物浪费。该联盟由Agaricus Robotics Ltd领导，由林肯大学的林肯农业机器人和机器视觉小组支持，Littleport蘑菇农场是英国第二大蘑菇种植商。Agaricus Robotic的创新机器人蘑菇收获系统配备了智能视觉系统，并配备了最先进的柔软抓手来采摘蘑菇。在台架测试中，AR的机器人系统显示出全球领先的性能，能够在不损坏目标或任何邻近蘑菇的情况下采摘蘑菇。在这个项目中，Agaricus Robotic的机器人蘑菇收割机将进一步开发并在农场上进行演示。这包括开发一种新型的机械臂，设计用于在恶劣环境中操作并集成到视觉和抓取系统中。该项目开发世界领先的机器人收获技术，将逐步改变全球农场的劳动生产率。自动化收获消除了关键的劳动力限制，降低了生产成本。它扩大和扩大了英国在先进机器人领域的能力，开发具有全球市场机会的创新数字技术。

Our goal is to develop the world's first commercial mushroom picking robot, offering end-users game-changing productivity, de-risked labour availability, increased yield and reduced food waste.The consortium is led by Agaricus Robotics Ltd, supported by the Lincoln agri-robotics and machine vision groups at the University of Lincoln and Littleport Mushroom Farm, the second largest UK mushroom grower. Agaricus Robotic's innovative robotic mushroom harvesting system is equipped with an intelligent vision system and powered with a state of art soft gripper to pick mushrooms. On bench tests, AR's robotic system has shown globally leading performance, able to pick mushrooms without damage to the target or any adjacent ones.In this project, Agaricus Robotic's robotic mushroom harvester will be further developed and demonstrated on-farm. This includes the development of a novel robotic arm, designed to operate in a harsh environment and integrated into the vision and gripping system.This project develops world leading robotic harvest technology that will step change labour productivity on-farm globally. Automated harvesting removes critical labour constraints and reduces the costs of production. It expands and scales UK capacity in advanced robotics, developing innovative digital technologies with global market opportunity.
