UK Firm Takes Leading Role in Cutting-Edge Farm Robots Project
Cumbria‑based engineering firm Forth UK has been named the industry partner for the four‑year FARMAR project, a Horizon Europe‑funded initiative to develop AI‑driven ground and aerial robots that mimic farmer‑led practices. The programme, which begins in October, has secured €1.79 million (about $1.94 million) in funding, including UK government support. Forth will build prototypes of bee‑like drones and robotic moles, translating on‑farm demonstrations into step‑by‑step instructions for autonomous machines. The project targets labour shortages, climate volatility and rising costs to boost agricultural resilience and sustainability.
