TALK: Meet the Robots Revolutionizing Agriculture - HDO '25

Step into the future of agriculture with Dr Xing Wang and Prof Damith Herath from the University of Canberra’s Collaborative Robotics Lab (UC-CRL). Discover how intelligent robotics and sustainable practices are revolutionising farming—from delicate fruit harvesting to food waste transformation.

What to expect:

• AI-powered breakthroughs: Dr Xing Wang will share cutting-edge advancements in robotics, including soft grippers that delicately harvest fruit and automate traditional farming tasks.
• Sustainability in action: Prof Damith Herath will introduce UC-CRL’s innovative partnership with Goterra, where automated systems work alongside insects to convert food waste into valuable agricultural resources.
• Hands-on demonstration: Interact with a robot from UC-CRL and experience firsthand the technologies shaping the future of agriculture.

Join us for this fascinating glimpse into the next generation of agriculture, where cutting-edge robotics meets sustainable farming.
