Fieldwork Robotics, a University of Plymouth spin-out company, is developing an autonomous harvesting robot platform. A number of flexible robot arms attached to the platform will be able to pick raspberries, tomatoes, and other crops without squeezing them out or destroying the plant. We interviewed the director of Fieldwork Robotics and University of Plymouth robotics lecturer, Dr. Martin Stoelen, to find out how his platform operates and when will robot farmers take over the industry. According to Dr. Stoelen, the robot will be able to farm 20 hours a day and harvest tens of thousands of raspberries per day. ► Subscribe for more tech & culture videos: http://on.mash.to/subscribe ◄ MORE FROM MASHABLE * Tricking iPhone Facial Recognition: http://bit.ly/2M85wSJ * Hands-on with iPhone XS Max: http://bit.ly/2VXPf7j * Programmer Paid College Tuition with Roblox Game: http://bit.ly/2ExaUZ4 * LA Throws 96 Million ‘Shade Balls’: http://bit.ly/2KabakH Technologic: http://bit.ly/2K4jn9N Best of Mashable: http://bit.ly/2HzchZk MASHABLE ACROSS THE WEB Mashable.com: http://on.mash.to/1hCcRpl Facebook: http://bit.ly/2T5bgLp Twitter: http://bit.ly/2Cx8gSN Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Tctzi3 Mashable is for superfans.
