a number of agricultural sectors,
including the horticulture industry
which is facing labour shortages
and increasing consumer
demand for fresh fruit, such
as: an autonomous agricultural
vehicle, robotic pollinator, robotic
harvesters, crop estimator, and a
number of confidential projects.
Dr Glenn says it’s an exciting time
for Robotics Plus. “Our vision is to
grow into a truly global business
that will transform a number of
industries. We’re rapidly growing
our world-class development
team to prototype new ideas,
validate new components and
integrate these into our robotic
systems. Importantly we’re also
well supported by local and
international partners who are
helping us scale quickly to meet
market demand.”
The Thrive Top 50 - fifty
companies shaping the future
of the agriculture supply chain
- will be featured at the Thrive
Innovation Summit in Silicon Valley
on 25 March 2020. The Innovation
Summit, which covers topics
such as automated agriculture,
climate positive agriculture, next
gen proteins, blockchain, indoor/
vertical farming, integrated supply
chain, and biotechnology, also
attracts leaders of Fortune 500
food and agriculture corporations
implementing these disruptive
technologies.
