The researchers from the University of Warwick's horticultural arm, Warwick HRI, and its manufacturing engineering section, Warwick Manufacturing Group, are working on a number of robotics and automation products that will vastly reduce the labour costs of farmers and growers. One of the projects includes a robot that will pick mushrooms. The robot has the ability to find and pick only the mushrooms that have achieved a particular size. The robot works at a vastly higher degree of accuracy in comparison to humans, but has not yet reached the potential to pick at such a fast rate. The robot does however have the ability to work 24 hours.
