Food

In Wageningen, Vision+Robotics experts are developing vision-based robotic picking and packaging solutions that could prepare your next salad box without human intervention.

DENSO CORPORATION wants to make the impossible, possible by changing food systems from the inside out.

Synthetic data the next big thing in the AI 'revolution'? Researchers Arjan Vroegop and Trim Bresilla explain why it is just another part of vision and robotics and identify 3 main ways how synthetic data combined with robotic simulation will take applications of vision and robotics to the next level.

As soon as there is direct contact between a robotic gripper and soft fruits, damages can occur. Could soft grippers shed a different light on this?

In May this year, the book 'Advances in agri-food robotics' was published. The book describes the progress that agrifood robotics has made in recent years and whether robotics is crucial to feeding 9 billion mouths in the future. Prof. Eldert van Henten from Wageningen University & Research co-edited the book. What does he think are the main advances that have been made?

Could farmers instead of programmers be training robots to perform certain tasks? PhD researcher Robert van den Ven investigated the use of Learning from Demonstration to teach a robot all the motions needed to harvest an apple.
