Founded in July 2024 by Professor Klaus McDonald-Maier and Dr Vishwanathan Mohan, Versatile RobotX develops intelligent agricultural robots combining AI, machine vision, embedded intelligence and advanced robotic manipulation. The company offers two products: the Fruit and Vegetable Autonomous Picker for automated picking of produce, and the Hydroponic Robotic Harvester for harvesting and transplanting in soilless systems. Its technology has been validated through field trials with UK growers including Wilkin & Sons of Tiptree and JEPCO. Versatile RobotX positions its systems as low-cost, field-ready platforms and plans to expand its portfolio of multifunctional robotic systems. The company intends to pursue manufacturing readiness, customer engagement and commercial expansion, and to demonstrate Robotics-as-a-Service as an adoption route for farms of varying sizes.
