Project description
Robotics and automation for insect farming
Food insecurity represents one of the biggest challenges in the 21st century. Edible insects emerge as a potentially sustainable solution for food for humans and animals. To improve mass production and breeding and reduce their costs, the development of research, innovation, farming protocols and standardisation is necessary as well as the robotisation and automation of insect farms. The EU-funded CoRoSect project focuses on the connection of research on bionomics and the life cycle of insects with new robotics tools and protocols for the automatisation of insect farming. The project will establish innovative integrated cognitive robotics ecosystems that will replace operations demanding manual labour or continuous human supervision during the insects’ life cycle.
