About

Founded around 2019, Fieldwork Robotics develops autonomous robots designed to harvest soft fruits like raspberries, aiming to disrupt the $2.2bn fresh raspberry market by improving efficiency and reducing waste. Their AI-powered 'Fieldworker 1' robot, launched in 2024, detects fruit ripeness and automates picking. The company operates a business model combining hardware sales with technology licensing and service support, funded through multiple rounds including seed funding and grants to advance R&D and commercial deployment.
