Meet the next generation of experts in Agri-Food Robotics

AgriFoRwArdS – the world's first EPSRC CDT in Agri-Food Robotics – is developing a new generation of highly skilled researchers and leaders in robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) with interdisciplinary expertise.

The CDT experience has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. The work is challenging but incredibly enjoyable, as it allows me to engage with a wide range of robotics projects.

                                                                                                                            PhD student Elijah Almanzor

Established by the University of Lincoln in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and the University of East Anglia (UEA), AgriFoRwArdS brings together a unique collaboration of leading researchers located at the heart of the UK agri-food sector, as well as leading industrial partners from across the food, farming and robotics industries.

The Centre offers students a four-year programme in a research-intensive environment. Students conduct one year of study for the MSc in Robotics and Autonomous Systems at the University of Lincoln, followed by three years of PhD study at one of the three partner institutions.

Here we meet some of Cohort 2 who have been studying at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge.
