Sprout is a light-weight, electrically powered, robotic tool carrier that can carry tools such as a fully automated asparagus or courgette harvester.
About
Fresh produce growers today only get half the required labour. This increases food import dependency, food miles and decreases food system resilience. MuddyMachines build a lightweight, electrically powered, field-robot platform that performs labour-intensive tasks better than humans. The first tool that is ready for market is a Green Asparagus harvester. “Robotics as a Service” enables high margins for us and instant ROI for farmers. This way the robot can be re-used over the entire calendar year in various locations and crops.
Key Benefits
Solving the labour shortage problem for growers of selectively harvested field vegetables and other speciality crops. There is a significant opportunity to improve yields from more accurate harvesting and unprecedented levels of crop data insights. This way, our technology enables the expansion of domestic vegetable production which benefits the food system.
Applications
