Fieldwork Robotics Ltd, developers of selective, adaptive and modular harvesting robots, is pleased to announce that it has developed a new robotic model: the Fieldworker 1.
The enhanced design allows the robot to harvest at the same speed and quality as human pickers. The company is also working with Costa Group, Australia’s leading producer of fresh fruit and vegetables. The agreement will see Fieldwork’s robots deployed for trials at Costa berry farms over the next 12 months, with field trials taking place from Q1 2025.
David Fulton, Fieldwork CEO commented: “The progress we have made over the last 18 months has been extraordinary. Partnerships with industry-leading companies like Costa Group are a testament to the hard work of our team, the quality of our product, and the effectiveness of our solution which solves a real-world problem for growers.
Costa Group commented: “We are pleased to be collaborating with Fieldwork, a leader in the autonomous harvesting sector. We have a strong focus on exploring new technology to enhance our harvest operations and we are looking forward to trialling this technology in our farms over the next year.”
This relationship with Costa signals continued and growing interest in Fieldwork’s technology from customers across the globe. With a healthy customer pipeline secured, Fieldwork is currently on track to begin its Series A fundraise in 2025.
