Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
Israeli research university in Beer-Sheva operating the ABC Robotics Initiative covering agricultural, biological, and cognitive robotics research.
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), founded in 1969 and located in Beer-Sheva, Israel, is a major public research university with over 20,000 students. Its ABC Robotics Initiative, funded by the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, conducts multidisciplinary R&D in agricultural, biological, and cognitive robotics.
Research areas include autonomous crop harvesting and targeted spraying, human-robot collaboration, gripper design, sensor fusion, multi-robot control, and telerobotics. BGU also hosts a Biomedical Robotics Lab, a Physical AI Lab, and a dedicated Robotics and Control Research Lab. In 2021, Fujitsu signed a joint research agreement with BGN Technologies (BGU's tech-transfer arm) to develop safe real-world AI applications.
BGU is launching a dedicated AI bachelor's degree program with robotics laboratory infrastructure for 2026-2027.
