Abstract
agROBOfood is dedicated to accelerate the digital transformation of the European agri-food sector through the adoption of
robotic technologies. It will consolidate, extend and strengthen the current ecosystem by establishing a sustainable network
of DIHs. This will boost the uptake of robotic solutions by the agri-food sector: a huge challenge requiring an inclusive
approach involving all relevant European players. The agROBOfood consortium has 39 partners, led by Wageningen
University & Research and other core partners of previous key projects such as IoF2020, ROBOTT-NET, PicknPack and
I4MS, to leverage the ecosystem that was established in those projects. The heart of the project is formed by Innovation
Experiments (IEs), organized and monitored by the DIHs. In each of the 7 Regional Clusters, an initial IE will demonstrate
the robotics innovations in agri-food in a manner that ensures replicability across Europe, wide adoption and sustainability of
the DIHs network. agROBOfood will work in lockstep with the European robotics community, ensuring synergetic effects with
initiatives such as EU-Robotics.
