In this episode, Blue Earth’s Guy Hayler sits down with Robyn Sands, founder and CEO of Autopickr, to explore how a humanities graduate from rural Norfolk built one of the UK’s most exciting agri-robotics companies. Robyn shares Autopickr’s journey from identifying a painful problem in the asparagus fields to developing fully autonomous robot farmhands now being trialled across the UK. We dive into labour shortages, rapid advances in computer vision, the challenge of scaling hardware, and why robotics could be the key to saving billions in global crop losses. Now a Blue Earth Ventures Member and raising through the Blue Earth platform, Autopickr is gearing up for commercial rollout, and a huge market opportunity. Hosted on Acast.
