This event is the second in the series of knowledge exchange events hosted by the Agri-Robotics Regulatory Network (ARRNet) and supported by a grant from Innovate UK. ARRNet, a collaboration between the UK Agri-Tech Centre, Lincoln Institute for Agri-food Technology, Harper Adams University, Manufacturing Technology Centre, is working to overcome the remaining barriers to the widespread adoption of robotics and automation in agriculture. Through developing technical standards, training and testing, ARRNet aims to ensure the reliability and safety of Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) in agriculture, whilst also supporting commercialisation and adoption. Bring your robots and try in-field test scenarios to assess safety and performance factors. Get your free ticket

“Growing Resilience”, running from 7th to 9th January, will mark an opportunity to celebrate the incredible farming sector and its ability to adapt to the ever-changing world, the opportunities ahead for current and future generations and a valued legacy passed on by previous generations. The Oxford farming conference will also reflect on the resilience, strength and significant moments of the OFC over the last 90 years. Looking back to 1936 when OFC was first launched, their motto remains true today as it did all those years ago – to “challenge and inspire”, not only those who attend but the wider industry. And they are extremely proud that in recent years they have added “include”, highlighting their continued commitment that OFC is welcoming and accessible to all. We are a gold sponsor at this event.

Join us to explore ARRNet’s findings and what they mean for the adoption of standards for Robotics and Autonomous Systems in agriculture. Following 12 months of grant funding, the project has completed a comprehensive study of the regulatory and standards landscape, testing protocols and facilities, and training regimes that support the development and adoption of robotics in agriculture. Join us to explore how these findings can be used to support agri-robotics companies, innovators, and the wider goals of the Industrial Strategy. The Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology will present findings from its comprehensive review of global standards, identifying gaps and highlighting generic or translatable standards for agriculture from other sectors. Building on this work, the UK Agri-Tech Centre will present a roadmap outlining a framework for developing new standards, guidance, and training to support innovation and the sharing of best practices. Reasons to attend Insights into the future landscape of regulation and standards. Demonstrations from agri-robotics and automation companies. Networking with the whole supply chain of regulatory and standards creation. Get your ticket
