CoRoSect (robotics in insect farms)

CoRoSect brings a novel perspective to automated insect farming. A digitalized, integrated robotic solution to support all insect life cycle phases is introduced. The goal is to create a collaborative environment where humans and robots harmoniously share and undertake various cognitively and physically demanding tasks, such as transferring and handling crates (de-stacking and stacking), monitoring environmental conditions, larvae separation/detection, insect feeding, and more. This infrastructure will be implemented, tested and validated based on end-user needs and requirements in diverse insect production environments, namely Mealworm, Black Soldier Fly and Crickets.

Oamk role in this project is to design, manufacture and test the sensors that can be integrated into crates to measure the critical variables which must be monitored to ensure a successful production process.
