WHO WE ARE
Fox Robotics is dedicated to understanding the challenges and operations of soft fruit farms.
Fox Robotics has developed a logistics Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) specialised for agriculture, with a primary focus on soft fruit. Hugo RT TM (Rough Terrain) robot has been designed to safely assist human pickers in the field. Supporting farmers and managers all-year-round in season and out of season operations. Hugo RT TM is a durable, efficient, and sustainable robot, that transports picked produce anywhere on the farm.
Hugo RT TM can be used in fields and polytunnels in all weather conditions. The robot utilises AI to find the most efficient way to transport the produce.
Our complete solution maximises picker productivity.
How it works
Hugo RT TM is ready to serve pickers and farmers in their day-to-day tasks by improving overall productivity and efficiency. Hugo’s primary focus is to automate transportation on farms by autonomously delivering empty trays to pickers, weighing, and collecting the picked produce from them and transporting it to the designated collection point. Hugo RT TM is able to identify the exact locations of pickers and collection points by using our HOLA hubs.
WEB APPLICATION
Fox Robotics has created a web application to keep track of the produce collected. Hugo RT TM will work alongside the web application for a seamless and efficient transition from paper to automatic data collection. In addition, the web application gives farmers real-time insight into what is happening on the farm in terms of labour productivity and robot status. This application can be integrated with existing systems through API’s.
data capture
Hugo RT TM has also been designed to collect data in real-time from each picker, row, and field. As the picker loads the produce, the weight is recorded and shared with the cloud. This data is captured every time for each individual picker.
Easy set up
Fox Robotics’ technology (Hugo RT TM , web application and HOLA Hubs) have been engineered for easy set up and implementation. No changes are required to the farm infrastructure.
