Robotics & AI: An Extra Set of Hands for Insect Farming

CoRoSect leverages robotics, AI, and big data to fix the disconnected food system, restoring insects as the missing piece of the puzzle in the modern food chain.

The Not-So-Secret Sauce: Automation

At CoRoSect, our goal is to develop a sophisticated human-robot working smart service-oriented environment that will materialize the entire production pipeline of an insect farm. We will implement five service groups, comprised of different modules at the farm- and the cell- level.

Purchase Starto Theme
Information Management System (IMS)/Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
This service group will be used to connect, monitor and control the overall manufacturing process and data flows within the insect farm.
AI-enabled perception methods
These services will be responsible for equipping each d-Cell with advanced AI perception methods that will boost its level of autonomy and efficiency.
Robotic actions planning and control:
This service group will be responsible for realizing all control and planning procedures related to the activities performed by the robots at the cell-level.
Cognitive robots and smart mechatronics
Designing and developing smart mechatronics solutions that will materialize the algorithms and methods defined in the previous layers.
Human-robot collaboration schemes
Implementing different schemes for human-robot collaboration, in order to improve the productivity and quality of work of the designed system.

The robots are coming: AI, ethics and the law

Rethinking ethical, legal and societal dimensions in AI-enabled automation

The trade of between safe working environment while keeping the efficiency of robots and recognising the importance of human centered AI represents a mach made in heaven between humans and their robotic ‘colleagues’ in CoRoSect’s automated farm.

A look inside automated insect farming

CoRoSect will launch five large-scale pilots that will take place in five European countries in diverse insect production environments. In order to obtain valuable results, multiple use cases will be defined and their feasibility will be assessed between industrial partners, insect farms and the robotic providers.
