About Fieldwork Robotics

Fieldwork Robotics is a Cambridge, UK company developing AI-powered fruit-harvesting robots, a spin-out from the University of Plymouth. Its Fieldworker 1 (FW1) addresses one of agriculture's hardest picking problems: raspberries, whose delicacy defeats conventional automation. The company says FW1 is the world's only commercially available raspberry-harvesting robot. It uses high-definition sensors, spectral imaging and machine learning to judge ripeness berry by berry, then picks with soft, food-safe grippers under a patented arm design intended to mimic the reach and dexterity of a human picker. The first harvester runs four picking arms guided by computer vision, and the company says a newer generation with the arms mounted on a large gantry will pick more than 25 kilograms of raspberries per hour — faster, it claims, than the average human picker.

Fieldwork sells harvesting as a service, charging growers per kilogram picked with the robot, a model aimed at farms facing seasonal labour shortages. Partnerships named on its site include the UK berry producer Hall Hunter Partnership and the Portuguese grower Summer Berry Company, and it is also developing Spectral N sensors for ripeness and disease detection. For directory partners, Fieldwork is a rare commercial-stage harvesting robot offered as a service rather than as capital equipment.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	6 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	11 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
