SWEEPER-ROBOT

Our partner IRMATO filed for bankruptcy halfway through the project. IRMATO's activities in the Sweeper project stopped on 31 January 2018. With IRMATO we were able to develop and test a first prototype we called the ‘basic system'. The final prototype, the ‘advanced system', was built around the existing greenhouse technologies of new partner Bogaerts Greenhouse Logistics, like the harvesting trolley and the mobile platform. We also completely redesigned the end-effector concept... The experts of Vision + Robotics design robotic systems for open field, horticulture, fresh chains and food. We specialise in artificial intelligence and sensing, especially spectral, learning and vision... In the world of greenhouse horticulture there is a great need to automate labour. The availability of employees who want to perform repetitive tasks under challenging climatic conditions is rapidly decreasing. At the same time, the robotisation of this work offers a wealth of advanced technological..
