COVID-19 has had a severe effect on the agricultural sector. It is estimated that, over the next 1--2 years, there will be a 75% reduction in the availability of manual labourers due to the pandemic and the UK leaving the EU. Additionally, a large proportion of each crop is wasted. There is an urgent need for an innovative, efficient harvester that will minimise waste and replace the sizeable proportion of manual labour that is in very short supply. RoboVeg's three-headed harvester rig will do just that through selective harvesting. RoboVeg is a rapidly growing UK SME, with a core team that has decades of practical experience comprising Mike Phillips, Peter Keeling and Estwick George. RoboVeg will generate a year-5 post-project revenue of an estimated £13M.

COVID-19 对农业部门造成了严重影响，预计在未来 1--2 年内，由于疫情和英国脱欧，体力劳动者的数量将减少 75%。此外，每种农作物的很大一部分都被浪费了，因此迫切需要一种创新的高效收割机，以最大限度地减少浪费并取代 RoboVeg 的三头收割机中相当大比例的劳动力。 RoboVeg 是一家快速发展的英国中小企业，其核心团队由 Mike Phillips、Peter Keeling 和 Estwick George 组成，预计项目后第 5 年将产生英镑收入。 13M。
