Agaricus Robotic Harvester

我们的目标是开发世界上第一个商业蘑菇收获机器人，为最终用户提供改变游戏规则的生产力，降低劳动力可获得性的风险，提高产量和减少食物浪费。该财团由从林肯大学剥离出来的Agaricus Robotics Ltd领导，并得到Littleport蘑菇农场的支持。Agaricus Robotics的创新机器人蘑菇收获系统配备了智能视觉系统，并结合了一种新型的软抓手来采摘蘑菇。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96%的蘑菇。蘑菇机器人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，设计用于在严酷和恶劣的环境中操作。此外，我们还将继续开发用于农场修剪、称重和包装操作的机器人系统。该项目开发了世界领先的机器人收获技术，将逐步改变蘑菇农场的劳动生产率。自动化收获消除了关键的劳动力限制，降低了生产成本。它扩大了英国在先进机器人领域的能力，开发了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 harvesting 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, a spin-out of the University of Lincoln, and supported by Littleport Mushroom Farm. Agaricus Robotics' innovative robotic mushroom harvesting system is equipped with an intelligent vision system combined with a novel soft gripper to pick mushrooms. On bench tests, AR's robotic system has shown globally leading performance, able to pick \>96% of mushrooms without damaging the target or any adjacent mushrooms.Agaricus robotics mushroom harvester will be further developed and demonstrated on-farm. This includes the development of a novel robotic arm, designed to operate in tight and harsh environments. In addition, we will onward develop a robotic system for on-farm trimming, weighing, and packing operations.This project develops world-leading robotic harvest technology that will step-change labour productivity across mushroom farms. Automated harvesting removes critical labour constraints and reduces the costs of production. It expands the UK's capacity in advanced robotics, developing innovative digital technologies with global market opportunities.
