Powdery mildews are among the most problematic plant pathogens to control with fungicides. Strawberries are particularly affected, as many commercial varieties are highly susceptible, grown in climates that favour disease, and the powdery mildew pathogens rapidly become resistant to many of the best fungicides.

We are currently conducting pilot testing of a strawberry harvester. An autonomous strawberry harvester mounted on the Thorvald robot will be able to harvest predefined varieties of strawberries on table-tops. The Thorvald robot moves autonomously along the rows, and activates the harvester wherever there are ripe berries.

We are inviting partners to develop and deploy further tasks to fill the large field of opportunities for robotics in agriculture.
