evokeᴬᴳ⋅ 2025: Innovation & Future Technology Episode 3

There’s a big difference between a portobello mushroom and an enoki- just like the robots that pick them. In this episode we hear from Chris Payne, Chief Operating Officer for 4AG Robotics, about the fascinating evolution of specialist robots and Professor Simon Pearson who led the UK government’s review of robotics and automation for the horticulture sector and works in one of the largest Ag-Tech specialist groups in the UK. 

This is the third episode of the third focus area in the evokeᴬᴳ⋅ 2025 mini series. The series is split into four key focus areas: Economics & Trade, Sustainability & Environment, Innovation & Future Technology and Workforce & Skills Gap.
