UK-based agtech company developing autonomous soft-fruit harvesting robots, commercialising raspberry-picking machines with AI-enhanced 3D vision.
Fieldwork Robotics is a Cambridge, UK-based agricultural robotics company founded in 2016 as a spin-out from the University of Plymouth by Dr. Martin Stoelen. The company develops autonomous harvesting robots for soft fruit, with its primary focus on raspberries — one of the most challenging crops to harvest mechanically due to their delicate nature and complex foliage. Its flagship platform, the Fieldworker 1, features four independent robotic arms equipped with patented inflatable membrane grippers for damage-free fruit removal, alongside AI-enabled 3D vision systems and high-fidelity ripeness detection.
The robots operate alongside human workers in open-field conditions. Raspberries harvested by Fieldwork Robotics machines are now commercially available in UK supermarkets. In 2026, the company raised £3 million in funding, including a £2.2 million round led by Elbow Beach Capital, to scale from technology validation to commercial deployment.
