SoftGrip

Research and develop low-cost, soft robotic grippers having built-in actuation, sensing and embodied intelligence that enable safe-grasping, adaptability to object shape, and grasping versatility for reliable and efficient picking of mushrooms, and secondarily, of other agricultural produce with similar handling dynamics such as soft fruit (kiwifruit, berries, grapes etc.). All of this is to improve our services. We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous statistical information such as the number of visitors to our site. The implementation of Artificial Intelligence innovation and robotic automation can facilitate delicate harvesting, boost production, and decrease labour costs for European SMEs in the mushroom farming sector. SoftGrip will employ new manufacturing techniques to embed deep into the soft material sensing elements.
