SoftBot: A General-Purpose Robotic Assistant for Safe and Adaptive Crop Care

SoftBot: A General-Purpose Robotic Assistant for Safe and Adaptive Crop Care

Participants:

The first soft robotic solution to enable safe, adaptive automation in greenhouses. Using teleoperation and continuous learning, we learn in real time tasks like harvesting and pruning, addressing labor shortages in horticulture.

Research Partner :

EPFL CREATE Lab

The CREATE Lab, hosted at EPFL, combines expertise in soft robotic design, nonlinear control algorithms and novel fabrication methodologies.


Implementation partner:

Embodied AI

The Embodied AI team, building on top of years of research in soft robotic design and manipulation at EPFL CREATE Lab, is committed to bringing the first soft robotic manipulation solutions to the market.



 Agroscope

Agroscope, as the national research center for agriculture, can inform the project of the most crucial needs of the Swiss ecosystem, provide access to greenhouses on which to test the system and promote the technology to relevant Swiss farmers who would benefit from the technology.
